In Something about Etna, London-based artist Fipsi Seilern explores her fascination with
volcanic landscapes, cowboys with disembodied limbs, alongside an underlying fear of crowds.
Using colour pencils to draw directly onto untreated wood panels, the compositions oscillate
between solitude and chaos: some figures sit isolated with skulls and miniature pigs, while others
charge on horseback, guns drawn, with an imminent sense of eruption.

Drawing inspiration from mediaeval tapestries, Middle Eastern miniatures, and Japanese
woodblock prints, her new body of work reflects a shift from her previous work blending Old
Master copies and graffiti, revealing a more introspective and instinctive approach. This series
offers a meditation on personal and collective anxieties through a distinct, surreal and unique
visual language.

Born in the UK, Fipsi Seilern is a London based artist. Working across several mediums, she has
exhibited in London, Berlin, New York, Vienna, Stockholm and Murcia.

Public interventions under the pseudonym PANG have shaped an ongoing dialogue between graffiti
and classical painting.

She graduated with an MA in Fine Art at City and Guilds of London Art School in 2020.

Though the smallest bricks-and-mortar contemporary gallery in the UK, Liminal Gallery challenges
the status quo, presenting the diverse and resonant voices of today’s artists from across the UK and
Ireland. While historically women and minorities have been wildly underrepresented in the art world,
we stand as proof that change is happening.
