Lucy Cox (born 1988) in Chard , Somerset , UK,[ 1] [ 2] is a British abstract artist and curator.
Education
Cox received a Master of Arts (MA) in Culture, Policy and Management from City St George's, University of London , a Bachelor of Arts with Honours (BA Hons) in Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Arts , University of the Arts London and a Foundation Degree (FdA) in Art & Design from Kingston University London in collaboration with School of Art & Design, Kingston College .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Practice
Cox has exhibited her paintings in the UK and internationally, including an exhibition of British painters in China,[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] and has curated exhibitions in London.[ 9] [ 10] Andy Parkinson wrote of her work, "Lucy Cox's playful geometric arrangements, almost inhabiting a believable three dimensional space, seem to celebrate the ways in which colour creates spatial ambiguities and irregularities".[ 11] Sharples[ 3] described Cox's paintings as compositions which "reveal vivid organic and geometric shapes, gradations of colour, exchanges and explorations of the figure/ground relationship between translucency and opaqueness", while Robert Priseman describes her abstract paintings as "juxtaposing the autonomy of geometry with repetition and spontaneity".[ 12] She is a member of Contemporary British Painting [ 2] and on the advisory board of The Priseman Seabrook Collections .[ 13]
