"Past Gone By" (acrylic print on paper, 36 x 28 cm)

"Past Gone By", an acrylic print on paper, mounted to measure 36 x 28 cm. It was influenced by the historic landscape of Penzance, but it pays tribute to our relationship with the land, and it delights in the mark making, and the energy of the outside.

Lucy is a Belfast born artist, now living in Northamptonshire, who completed her BA (Hons) Fine Art Painting & Drawing in 2022, and recently completed an MA Fine Art at Birmingham School of Art, Birmingham City University. She is drawn to the Landscape but not the whole vista, only parts of the view - those appealing bits that offer an opportunity to incorporate imagination and different perspectives. She creates body of work using photographs, and sketches of places that have a special place in her heart.

She likes to try to capture her response to the landscape, and surroundings, trying to convey that sense of history, layer upon layer. The mark making, or rubbing out, blending and textural marks or spaces create energetic vibrant pieces with personal resonances. The intention, such as it exists, is to allow a sense of freedom, getting lost, and a reminder of how we fit into the narrative. Our small place on the planet.
