Lauren Bailey

BA (Hons) Fine Art



As an artist I aim to connect objects with colour and produce a level of visual satisfaction. My work starts its life as a digital experiment, enabling me to explore quickly and instinctually with colour changes and compositions; mark making and rhythmic shapes form a key to transferring the digital work into a real life setting. Constructing the abstract digital work into a life situ enhanced a need for the readymade and fast drying materials as this mimics brush tools and quick colour changes transpiring the processes used digitally to physically. My generation has been described by art critic Gene McHugh, as digital natives, outlining us as a digitally enabled cultural generation who, since we were conscious, had technologies weaved into our lives. Aiming to make sense of this second nature we share the ability to seamlessly use the digital materials, combining this with an awareness of visual satisfaction and play. I aim to string together a digital feel to a physical formation of abstract compositions.

I would describe my art as confessional; I take inspiration from my life events and feelings surrounding these experiences, I translate this through my work. I see my practice as a portal from my life in which I can lose myself and explore the deepest truths of my...

I have recently been exploring ideas related to the home and memory, and how they form identity. I am interested in how to defy the imperative to follow a linear structure in personal narrative and instead look for a more honest depiction of memory, which is itself...
