Elizabeth Magill in-conversation with William Feaver

Elizabeth Magill's main preoccupation has been with painting and in particular with reference to landscape. She uses this genre to explore possibilities within the painting process, playing with notions around constructed worlds and place. These works often evoke a sense of vastness but are underpinned with suggestions to the interconnectedness of things.

Born in Canada, raised in Northern Ireland and residing in London and County Antrim, Elizabeth Magill came to the attention of the art world in the early 90s and 2000’s with major exhibitions at Arnolfini, Bristol; Icon Gallery, Birmingham; Milton Keynes Gallery and Baltic Gallery, Gateshead. Magill has exhibited is prestigious group shows including: The British Art Show, Hayward Gallery, London; The Hugh Lane Gallery Dublin; The Serpentine Gallery, London and many one person shows at Wilkinson Gallery, London and Kerlin Gallery, Dublin.
