DEBORAH AZZOPARDI

Deborah Azzopardi’s exuberant, playful Pop style has remained consistent across a decades-long career. Enthralled by the everyday, Azzopardi is constantly in dialogue with notable figures of the US Pop movement, while offering more subtle references to the art historical cannon and figures such as Manet, Bouchet or Fragonard. Presenting a distinctively British counterpart to the work of Pop luminaries such as Roy Lichtenstein, a quick witted and tongue-in-cheek British sense of humour is ever-present in Azzopardi’s distinctive visual language. In each work, Azzopardi presents liberatory snapshots of womanhood through a bold, celebratory command of colour and line.

Azzopardi was born in 1958 in London. Numerous solo exhibitions of her work have been held across the US and Britain, including the largescale gallery retrospective 35 Years of Azzopardi staged in 2020 by the Cynthia Corbett Gallery, which has represented the artist internationally for many years. Azzopardi originals and limited-edition prints are found in numerous international collections. Azzopardi lives and works in London.
