Lucy Spanyol

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, 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.

Lucy has an MA from Chelsea School of Art, and has recently been awarded the Schmineke prize at the Royal Watercolour Society Open 2024. She has her work in collections at Soho House in Balham, Steingold Contemporary and Kate Bryan (Art Historian).

Recent exhibitions include “A Room Of Her Own” at Irving Contemporary Oxford, “Unconquerable Women”, Texas and “Works on Paper 5” at the Blue Shop Gallery, Brixton.
