Lucy Bull creates visionary synaesthetic works, adopting surrealist rhythmic brushwork to encourage your eyes to dance around the canvas and soak in the daubs and swirls of colour in every inch of the work.
As the artist has explained, ‘The marks oscillate from being imprints from the tip of my brush to more finessed and directionally specific as I start to trace these sensations’.
Bull’s latest solo exhibition with David Kordansky Gallery, Skunk Grove, is on view in Los Angeles until 1 May 2021.
