British born Lucy McLauchlan’s large-scale monochromatic paintings have covered multi-story buildings across Europe, gigantic billboards in China, windows in Japan, huts in The Gambia, Italian water towers, Norwegian lighthouse, Detroit car parks and abandoned NYC subway tunnels.

In the era of extensive preparation using digital tools, Lucy is noted for her use of permanent materials and a one-take philosophy. In her deft hands this unedited process still results in considered and surprisingly slick executions. While working mainly in black and white she creatures a world rich in experience, and ruled by a passionate instinct.

Lucy’s art combines ancient, almost pre-historic influences with a graphic modernist sensibility. The creative epoxy that binds these two disparate references together is Lucy’s clear personal vision, resulting in the immediately recognisable style that is a hallmark of many memorable artists. Four artworks from Lucy are featured in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert museum.

Implicit within her work is a deep respect for nature as she draws inspiration from her immediate environment; allowing it to inform and direct what is an intuitive and explorative process.

Lucy will be doing live painting at KIN, inviting the audiences to join in her mural process as it develops over the course of the event.
