Acquired from the above by the present owner in 2019

"What is dictated by indulgence must be tempered with taste. The process begins as a blind, intuitive exploration of sensation and movement. I stamp away with a dry brush of oil paint until the painting is married to its final form. Investment in the physicality of the paint allows time for transformation to occur.

 

The work carries with it a sense of magical realism - landscapes transmogrify into bestial curiosities and dissolve back into indiscernible markings. There’s a wing, a beak, a staircase. A ping pong between worlds, real and imagined. I move freely between them."


LUCY BULL, quote from Queens Gallery Loofah exhibition
