Lisbeth Firmin’s work explores the relationship between people and their urban environment. Her urban landscapes follow in the tradition of earlier realists such as John Sloan and Edward Hopper, depicting today’s life in the streets, while reflecting modern themes of isolation and disconnection. Over the last few years, she has been focusing on the figure, the light on the figure, in an urban environment.
