The Art of Circular Elevation
Lisa Watkins creates award-winning contemporary New Zealand art from storied materials, transforming them into sculptural focal points of colour, movement and lasting presence.
Circular Elevation moves sustainable art beyond expectation, bringing ecological responsibility, exceptional craftsmanship and lasting collector value together within a contemporary practice.
Through reflective surfaces, intricate construction and an instantly recognisable visual language, each one-of-one artwork rewards closer attention. Its layered materials respond to changing natural and architectural light, creating shifting colour, depth and kinetic light-play throughout the day.
Recognised for their vibrant colour, structural depth and distinctive visual presence, Lisa’s original and commissioned works are created for private collections, corporate interiors, hospitality settings and public spaces throughout Aotearoa and internationally.
Review by Janet McAllister
“These bold works belie the chaotic stereotypes of upcycled art: they are
precise, fully-formed and confident in purpose and direction.
The graphic colours and shapes demand our attention, then the depth, cleverness and object relationships keep us riveted.
This is eco- feminism at its best: creative, humorous and thought-provoking.”
The Future is Tactile
WHY MATERIALITY MATTERS
Mixed-media art offers collectors a distinctly physical experience: layered depth, visible craftsmanship and material presence.
As natural and architectural light moves across the work, its surfaces, shadows and reflections shift throughout the day. The artwork doesn’t simply occupy a wall; it changes the room.
