Liberty Battson is inspired by Modernism, more specifically the Modernist theories around abstraction and the pursuit for ‘truth’ and ‘true art’. More recently, Battson has used Dadaism as her source of inspiration, using unconventional ways of transferring paint to canvas. She focuses on the aesthetic of abstraction to conceptually address bigger issues and encourages the audience to decode the artwork through the playful engagement.
