Liorah Tchiprout (b. 1992, London) is an artist based in London. Her work explores girlhood, belonging, and the theatrical.

Training in fine art and printmaking at Brighton University, Bezel School of Art and Design, Jerusalem, and Camberwell College of Arts, Tchiprout first showed with Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2018 through their international open call where she was quickly championed by Fair Co-founder Lizzie Glendinning as her ‘top picks’ each year.

Lizzie invited her to take part inThe Brocket Residency in 2022, with subsequent exhibitions and representation through Brocket Gallery (now Lizzie Glendinning) at WCPF 2022 and her first London solo exhibition. In 2023, Tchiprout gained representation from Marlborough Gallery who also hosted a solo exhibition of works. She is now represented by Pippy Houldsworth Gallery who manage paintings and wider projects, while Lizzie and Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair continue to work with the artist in original prints.

Unique in painting from reality and imagination at once, Tchiprout stages mises-enscènes using her ‘dolls’ or puppets who are based on close friends and characters from books - her ‘safe space’ of women.

The puppets, inspired by the Modicut Yiddish Theatre Company (1926-33), enact scenes taken from recent translations of nineteenth and early twentieth century Yiddish female writers whose works are surprisingly contemporary and relatable in their approach.

As a trained printmaker, Tchiprout’s intricate etching and aquatints demonstrate a draughtsmanship well beyond her years with thoughtful narrative and composition. In her monotypes, she is able to expand her practice and it is this method which informed her early experimentations in painting - painting onto the smooth service of gesso panel as she would onto the aluminium plate for her prints - and gave her the confidence to push the boundaries of print and her own creative limitations further to become the celebrated artist she is today.
