Meet new artist: Lucy Jagger

L U C Y J A G G E R

Meet new artist Lucy Jagger! Lucy works in a wide variety of materials - exploring familiar themes; joy, despair, love, release, indulgence, the transitory nature of life - when a moment of delight is also your downfall - mapping out emotions over time.

Her latest collection "Joy" are reminiscent of Henri Matisse’s cut outs. They are bright, elegant and celebratory - both joyful and calming. The inspiration for the series came through lockdown, Jagger explains “I was looking at a map of the world and thinking about how connected or disconnected we are as people, cultures and countries. I ripped up the map and applied bright colours to the torn sections. I then threw the sections in the air and photographed the various compositions. From these photos I made unique paintings.” The paintings are a metaphor for how people and territories can come together in infinite ways and create something new, bright and up-lifting.
