LAYERING

LAYERING is a joint exhibition featuring works by Lucy Lawrence and Amy Vans. Both artists experiment with their materials, creating layers either through the application of paint and colour or the mixing of techniques such as print with sculpture and drawings.

Lucy Lawrence is displaying work that has been inspired by everyday household objects and routines. She particularly focuses on observations of her daughter recreating domestic rituals through play. She works with many different printmaking methods, combining them with sculpture and pen drawings. By building up layers, she explores and records how people interact with the things they use and care for.

Amy Vans’ vibrant abstract paintings in acrylic emerge from an intuitive and expressive process. Working spontaneously across multiple canvases, she allows each piece to evolve organically, later forming themed collections that share a distinctive visual language.

Rich textures, layered colour, and bold contrasts define the work, while recent paintings introduce a quieter, more contemplative sensibility, inviting reflection and emotional connection.
