Isabel Brison (Lisboa, Portugal, 1980) studied and established herself as a visual artist in Lisbon before moving to Sydney in 2014, where she now works primarily as a web developer. She holds a BFA in Sculpture (University of Lisbon) and an MA in Communication Science/Media Art (New University of Lisbon). Her solo shows include H Henry and his Hat (2022) at Cooperativa Árvore, Porto as part of the Transeuropa festival, “Relatório Incompleto Sobre os Usos do Impossível” (2013) at Next Room, Lisboa and “O Futuro da Vida Urbana em Ruínas (2012)” at galeria Carlos Carvalho Arte Contemporânea, Lisboa. Recent group exhibitions include Interferences: Emerging Urban Cultures (2022) and “Expanded: Fiction and Fabrication in Post-Digital Architectural Photography” (2019) at MAAT Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Lisbon and The Common Soil (2020, online) with Nuno Rodrigues de Sousa at CHAUFFEUR, Sydney.

For Drawing Room, Isabel Brison presents new works that use digital image manipulation as a critical tool for reinterpreting urban space. The artist creates fictional spatial environments, employing artistic strategies that go beyond a simple representation of reality. By manipulating and distorting reality, Brison offers a new way of understanding and visualizing architecture, enabling a critical reading of urban transformations and the cultural dynamics of the city.
