Lucy Merriman is an emerging contemporary artist based in East London.
The driving force behind Lucy’s work is a profound response to the surrounding landscape through emotive colour and expressive brushstrokes, using printmaking processes and painting as the basis for her work. Lucy’s mixed media approach is developed through painted sketches, monoprints and photography. Using a blend of analogue & digital processes she plays with form and composition. The spontaneity of printmaking creates unexpected imperfections and texture. Layers of acrylic paint are energetically applied to canvases, hand screen-printed images merge with sweeping gestural marks in vibrant hues.
Lucy graduated from Nottingham Trent University with a BA in Textile Design, establishing her first print design studio in Shoreditch 1992. In 2020, Lucy shifted focus from design to artistic practice.
Recently Lucy has exhibited at The Other Art Fair London, Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and The Affordable Art Fair at Battersea and Hampstead. She is a member of ArtCan and a keyholder at East London Printmakers. Lucy’s work is held in private collections around the world.
