About
Why this artist matters now
Aliza Nisenbaum makes large-scale, densely colored portraits of marginalized communities, depicting subway workers, healthcare staff, security guards, and undocumented immigrants in celebratory compositions rooted in sustained personal engagement with her subjects. Her training in psychology informs a practice where portraiture doubles as social exchange. She has exhibited at Tate Liverpool and was included in the 2017 Whitney Biennial.
