Lucy Cox (artist)

Lucy Cox (born 1988) in Chard, Somerset, UK, is a British abstract artist and curator.

Education

Cox received a Master of Arts (MA) in Culture, Policy and Management from City, 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.

Practice

Cox has exhibited her paintings in the UK and internationally, including an exhibition of British painters in China, and has curated exhibitions in London. 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". Sharples 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". She is a member of Contemporary British Painting and on the advisory board of The Priseman Seabrook Collections.
