Lisa Ruyter

Lisa Ruyter began showing in New York in 1993. Like many of the artists of that generation, Ruyter’s concerns involve identity and pathologic constructions that cross biological and social boundaries. This work emerged from an education that had pop art and minimalism functioning like shopping mall anchor stores, in relationship to which Ruyter formed a special interest in navigating the glut of images, storytelling, invisible architectures, dissolving skins and representation, especially self-representation. Lisa Ruyter is a resident of Austria since 2003, and is very active in the Vienna local scene, with exhibition spaces that have produced more than 30 exhibitions of other artists.
