Lucy Grant’s artistic practice has a strong grounding in appreciating the awe in the world that goes unnoticed, predominantly through paintings. This means a lot of their art is inspired by various aspects of nature. Lucy Grant does this by attempting to abstract forms into an ambiguous state; being recognisable as forms in nature and also representing the emotional feeling whilst experiencing nature. This is achieved by focusing on the process of painting: the materiality of the medium, the force between the wall and the brush, layering, dots and gravitational dripping, as means to highlight the complexity of life itself.

The world is infinitely interesting; nature is important because it provides a calmness and stillness that modern life is often lacking. Similar to childlike wonder, Grant interprets colour enthusiastically, emphasising the hues they witness. They paint like they’re seeing the world for the first time. Ultimately their artistic practice focuses on the elements within nature that are the most untouched. Due to humanity’s mass-meddling within landscapes, this means focusing on smaller aspects (such as rocks) within the greater whole. 

Grant is currently studying their BA in Fine Art and is expected to graduate in July 2026.
