Bio <\/strong><\/p>\n Lucy Woollett also known as Lady Lucy – makes paintings, drawings and moving image. Her work is strongly informed by her interest in the social function and value of her activities as an artist and more specifically as a painter. She seeks to find meaning and political application in the process of painting and draws on the art historical lineages of collaborative art practice and portraiture. She is currently undertaking a residency at the Royal Marsden Hospital. She is a co-founder of The Drawing Exchange events with Kayle Brandon. Recent projects and exhibitions include Herbert Butler Neighbourly Portraits, (2019-2021) Portraits For Services, Gifts and Favours, Museum of London (2017), Shrine to Dissent, Day of The Dead Festival, Bargehouse,London (2014), The Whitechapel Gallery Staff Portrait Studio (2011) and Volunteers, Festival of Britain Southbank Centre (2011). Lucy complete her practice-based PhD at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton. Her research investigates how the process of portrait-making can function as a socially engaged practice, and ideas around art as gift, as means of post-capitalist exchange. Lucy is an Associate Lecture on BA Fine Art : Painting at Camberwell College of Arts.<\/p>\n As Lady Lucy a self – assigned artist name, a moniker that I have operated under for over 20 years, I make works and projects operating amongst the realms of expanded painting, portraiture, collage, drawing, photography, moving image and events. My work is strongly informed by an interest in the social function and value of activities, as an artist and more specifically as a painter. I seek to find meaning and political application in the work process, and there is a symbiotic relationship between private studio work and collaborative or participatory work in the public space.<\/p>\n Studio works are concerned with the editing of imagery sourced from the second-hand printed page or the imagination. Taking an economic approach to scale, my work is made in series, applying processes of painting, layering, abstraction, refiguring, and the juxtaposing of multiple pictorial references where ideas merge through collage. The photographic and art historical imagery is gathered from my archives of 20th century picture book materials of photographic, film, or art history. In other works, fanciful forms appear, which are dreamt from the imaginary or channel a recent happening from real life, the screen or radio. The characterful and colourful works often include second hand fabric items, and they are only finished when someone, something or someplace real or imagined appears.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n
