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.

Exploring the fragmentation of memory through the physicality of found objects and the spoken word, my work has become an archive of my family history. Due to the archival nature of my work, I replicate ways of preserving my objects through the attentiveness of their...

In my current practice I am concerned with the objectivity and phenomenology of colour. Through using media such as light and coloured acetate, my present work is intentionally focused and uncluttered, allowing colour to be considered as a singularity without any...

With a love for colour my work addresses form and shape and the impact this has on a space. I am demonstrating how the use of bright colour can create maximum optical impact. I’m interested in pattern and repetition to create a visual aesthetic whilst whilst working...
