BIOGRAPHY

Lise Honoré is an autodidact artist, and originally educated as a sign and house painter. After her education and training she gets a job in an advertising company, where her job is to manufacture different kind of boxes. Her dedicated direction towards art takes place in 1971 where she attains her first ceramic workshop. Clay becomes her starting point, and appears to be an accessible and manageable material in the beginning. Her intention is to create items which are meant to be used. But she soon starts working with clay in other ways.

Honore is already a dominant figure in the art-environment of Copenhagen by the early 1970s. She has several solo-exhibitions and from 1972 she becomes a member of the artist group ”GYRR.” At her first exhibitions she shows ordinary everyday objects (plastic bags etc.) created in stoneware, which at first sight looks to be made out of cardboard or plastic.
