Lizzie Munn is a British artist based in London, working across printmaking and installation, her practice adopts analogue processes which distance the hand. She completed a BA in Fine Art at Newcastle University in 2018, and graduated from the Royal Academy Schools in 2024. Maintaining a somewhat unorthodox attitude to printmaking, Munn generates sequences of monotypes to be employed as units of material matter in an expansive form of image making. Data and information absorbed from the world is processed through this repetitive act of making, embodied in the meditative movements of rolling and pressing. Her attentive approach allows relationships to form through colour, surface and volume. Paper becomes object, to be overlaid and rearranged, constructing modular print-based installations which are shaped by their environment.

Individually hand-printed sheets of etching ink transform into episodic forms, and the work becomes its own source. Despite their apparent similarity, each component is distinct, with its own analogue qualities; be this variation in texture, tone, application of ink. A sequence of contingent parts is jointly conducted, by the artist’s hand and the physical space, into a transitory form. Its arrangement embodies an attitude which is both open and suggestive, drawing attention to its dissonance, and in turn this hidden labour. Meditations on the sublime and architecture are at play in these shifting fields of colour.

Recent exhibitions include a solo presentation at Standpoint Gallery in London, and a large-scale public commission ‘The Sun Speaks’ (2024), for Art in Mayfair’s Bond Street Flag commission in central London, alongside numerous group exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts, Saatchi Gallery and Patrick Heide Contemporary Art, London. Munn’s unique approach to printmaking has been recognised and resulted in many awards in the UK. She has been awarded the Gwen May Trust Award by the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in 2025; Clifford Chance Purchase Prize by the Clifford Chance Art Collection, Janet Paradise Award for Painting by the Royal Academy of Arts in 2024; Materials and Research Award by Chelsea Arts Club Trust, Salaman-Seelig Art Award in 2023.
