Tate Liverpool launches its 2001 programme with a major exhibition of the work of Lisa Milroy. This is the most comprehensive exhibition of Milroy's work to date, and brings together a selected group of paintings from the past two decades, including a significant body of new work. Since her paintings from the 1980s depicting collections of objects, Milroy has pursued many different approaches. For this exhibition the paintings will be presented in groups, rather than chronologically, to give an overview of the diversity within Milroy's practice.

The imagery of Milroy's paintings explores objects, space and their relationship to one another. Her observation of familiar and quite ordinary things, often devoid of any specific context, is characterised by its intensity and clarity. The paintings provide information about a range of different kinds of systems - pattern, repetition, rhythm and order, which give form to more abstract relationships of absence and presence.

There is a special series of events planned to link with this exhibition.
