Liz Rudnick

Elizabeth Rudnick is a visual artist who lives and works in Pittsburgh, PA. Her childhood was spent driving around the suburbs of New Jersey, where she became fascinated by the moments of excess, sloppiness, and confusion that seem to define her generation. Rudnick thus describes her work as a “celebratory exploration of human fallibility.” The history of figurative painting provides the foundation for her practice, whose influences range from Francis Bacon and Willem DeKooning to contemporary painters Amy Sillman and Cecily Brown. Rudnick has shown nationally and internationally and holds a BFA in fine art from Carnegie Mellon University.
