Born in 1988 in Montreal, Canada.
Lives and works in New York.

Liza Lacroix’s artistic practice encompasses painting, audio, installation, and site-specific interventions. All aspects of her work are interconnected through an interest in power dynamics, intimacy, and the mediation of herself through the lens of art history. Driven by a skeptical love for painting, her criticality towards the medium produces works that are often at odds with themselves. Lacroix’s work plays with refusal. Even though she often withholds biographical contextualization, she inserts personal references into her works making them a site of vulnerability.

Her  work has been shown in various solos and collective exhibitions, at Le Consortium, Dijon (2024); Magenta Plains, New York (2024); two seven two, Toronto (2024); PEANA, Mexico City and Monterrey (2024, 2018); K11 Art Mall, Shanghai (2023); Galerie Gisela Capitain, Cologne (2023); M23, New York (2018); AC Repair, Toronto (2016); and Popps Packing, Hamtramck (2015).

Her first solo institutional exhibition in Europe was in 2024, at the Neue Galerie Gladbeck in Germany.  In September 2025, Galerie Chantal Crousel presented Liza Lacroix’s first solo exhibition in Paris with an entirely new body of work.

Liza Lacroix has participated in artist residency programs in Detroit, London, New Mexico, Oaxaca and Italy.

She has published three books: Liza Lacroix: The Wrong Man. (published by Ligature Press, 2022); You’re Laughing. I love you. (Published by Galerie Gisela Capitain, 2023) and most recently, One. Two. Three. [...] Twenty-Six. (co-published by Ligature Press and Neue Galerie Gladbeck on the occasion of her solo exhibition, 2024)
