Liane Lang, RA Elect, MRSS is a mixed media artist with a focus on the conversation between sculpture and photography. She prints images onto unusual materials and objects to explore the tension between the narrative and historical dimension of the image and the texture, scale and presence of the material object. Lang takes a particular interest in monuments, statues and historic spaces and uses a wide range of materials from industrial and domestic found objects to bark, lead and leather, crystal, marble and bronze.
