Lost And Found - Endangered Armoured Mistfrog by Lisa Axiotis

Features

ARTIST NOTES: The story of a lost and found frog. The Armoured Mistfrog, not spotted since 1991, was thought by many experts to be extinct. Seventeen years later it was happily rediscovered in a remote part of Australia's tropical north Queensland. This resilient little frog has somehow learned to survive despite being infected with the devastating and potentially life-threatening chytrid fungus. In its own way the Armoured Mistfrog teaches us that we too as a species can learn to change, to grow and to adapt.

ARTIST BIO

Lisa Axiotis is an emerging Melbourne-born multidisciplinary artist. With a background in painting and a Bachelor's Degree in Digital Arts, Lisa's experience in both worlds has filtered through to her current practice: Lisa paints the physical world so as to reflect not only its current state, but its possibilities.

Drawing on classical ideals of beauty, nature and the sublime, Lisa holds fast to what she believes should be inherent in all art - integrity of skill. Hyper-real in execution and seductive in their depth, Lisa's paintings share her vision of reality; often marked by strong focal values and intensity of colour. Her work is natural and exuberant, both feminine and strong - aspects often considered mutually exclusive, to which her practice defies.

Working in a range of media including acrylic, pastel, pencil and cut paper, Lisa's meticulously detailed work has been exhibited nationally and is housed in private collections across Australia.

 "To nature I attribute all my findings in expressions of artistic merit."
