Biography |
|
|
|
|
In an era when visual images are styled to perfection using technology, Lucy McLauchlan crafts using permanent materials like Indian ink and marker pen. “If I make a mistake I can’t remove it; often though, the accidental details become my favourite,” she says of this ambitious, but inevitably rewarding, process. |

Lucy combines art deco, psychedelic and childlike motifs to make pieces that are delicate and tender yet engaging and provocative. With Rain People, a hanging structure made from multiple painted wooden elements, she recently branched into sculpture, effortlessly occupying the topical territory between installation and interior design. |

Somewhat surprisingly Lucy hails from Birmingham - a city whose vibrant counter-culture is usually more associated with a less subtle blend of fantasy and incitement. |
