About this event
In her second solo museum exhibition, Lucy Stevens presents a series of new works commissioned by Creswell Crags, compromising eight new mixed media paintings on canvas.
Based in Leicester, Lucy's work explores our relationship to the natural world, often drawing inspiration from ornithology, museum collections and her own experiences in nature. She has developed a practice using colour coded mixed media, photography, sound, sculpture and installation to interpret the natural environment. She often interprets species colouring, pattern, habitat, behaviour and vocalisations into vibrant portraits, colour charts and abstracts.
Lucy was awarded a solo show at Creswell Crags for her artwork 'Rainbow Lorikeet (Golden Sun)' as part of The Harley Gallery Open 2024.
The award presented a rare opportunity to explore the collection, working alongside curator Angharad Jones. Lucy chose to work with a selection of mammal teeth, which she extensively researched to learn more about each species' habitat and lifestyle to inspire a new body of artwork using acrylic paint, collage, pencil and wax pastel on canvas.
