Lizzie has worked with Cat Roissetter since 2015 where they hosted her celebrated painting exhibition, A Thousand Plateaus, at their London gallery and included work in subsequent mixed exhibitions and the inaugural Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, for which Roissetter’s dark yet playful etchings were integral to the early formulations around the Fair itself.

Roissetter returned to the gallery in 2018 to present a solo drawings exhibition based on three uncanny narratives, illustrated by this exceptional artist and draughtswoman. Her practice encompasses painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking. Delicate reimaginings of intimate, dreamlike, and often nightmarish mis-en-scénes, draw from a diverse range of source material, including 18th century English portraiture, pornography, found photographs and children’s literature among other things.

Colourful cherub-like forms, uneasy eroticism, and an abstraction developed through a unique use of materials, beautifully manifest in an ambiguous world of nostalgia, nuance and suggestion.

Roissetter joined Lizzie on The Brocket Residency in 2024 with her young baby. It was a great opportunity to explore avenues for new working practices while navigating motherhood and childcare. She spoke about her experience, and that of an artist-mother at the 2024 Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair’s, ‘Motherhood & Making’ panel discussion with leading artists and commentators such as Katherine Jones RA and Hettie Judah. Cat Roissetter is based in Sheffield, UK.
