Meet Lucy McLauchlan

Meet Lucy McLauchlan who works out of the same London gallery as Banksy, Jamie Hewlett, Stanely Donwood and others and paints as if she might improve the world by doing so (we reckon she does).’Harlan Levey, editor of Modart Magazine.


All Lucy 'ever wanted to do was draw' and after turning down a lucrative deal with a major brand who'd have happily paid her to draw, but would have sucked out her soul, she proved she wasn't going to become yet another branded commercial artist. Since then Lucy Mclauchlan's artwork has gone from strength to strength in it's own right, with exhibitions across the globe; it's now not only her screen prints but also her original artwork that has become increasingly desirable and sought after. But for Lucy it's still about the drawing, the simple need to create the perfect line, mark making in it's most basic form. Her intuitive approach allows her subconscious mind to take control and this is what makes her art unique: the character driven, organic undertones and often densely populated images emerge from within her tranquil exterior and manifest on surfaces that range from breasts to cars, covering millimetres to meters.
