Biography

Lucy Spanyol is a painter whose work explores fragile and nebulous visual narratives that offer an often darkly humorous vision of our world.
Figuration and abstraction exist in the same arena: forms and figures arrive in these paintings and drawings through a combination of the process of making and the memory of personal and collective events. For Lucy Spanyol, the process of making images is fundamentally an arena in which to explore unknown inner worlds and a place to push at the boundaries of both materials and visual storytelling.
