Elizabeth Taggart

( b. Ireland in 1943)

Irish born artist Elizabeth Taggart, studied painting at the Belfast College of Art in the mid 1960s.

Exhibiting regularly at the RHA, the RA and the Irish Exhibitions of Living Art.

Elizabeth’s work is beautifully refined in execution and painstaking care of small brush strokes echoes in the tenderness of the subject matter. Closer inspection reveals hints of the more sinister subtexts in stillettoed chair legs, masked Pierrot figures and averted eyes of the subjects. The eyes that meet those of the viewer convey a sort of melancholy at odds with flamboyant costumes and theatrical settings.
