COVER ARTIST

Lara Prideaux – For me, painting is a way of processing my thoughts and consequently discovering new personal perspectives. I start painting unsure as to how it may turn out, this allows me to have some sort of a conversation with the materials. Each painting is a playful new territory, where the rules of colour, shape and material force me to fnd new routes of representations, helping me to see things in new light. I like how each painting transforms through this search for some kind of visual characterisation of the idea I have in mind. The fuidity of the image gives me a sense of freedom within the thought or feeling I'm having, which I may otherwise feel stuck within. It's a source of movement and expansion through observation, both physically and internally.
