Lucy Davey
 











 

















 

Lucy graduated with a First from UWE Bristol in 2005 and after meeting Steph at her Graduation Show she joined the Artworks through the Startworks programme.

Lucy works in a variety of ways which keeps her work developing and makes it diverse and exciting.

Having experimented with screen printing, lino cut, enamel and bookmaking, Lucy now uses painting, collage, print and pen & ink drawing which she scans separately and assembles in Photoshop.


Her colour pallet is muted and is influenced by 1950's prints, the Cubist's Papier Colles and the Devon country and seaside where she grew up. This gives her images a wonderful atmosphere. Other inspiration comes from a wide range of sources including Japanese woodcut, early lithography, folk music, the collages of Schwitters and Joseph Cornell and railway poster art as well as contemporary illustration- and her older brother who also works as an illustrator/animator.

   

Lucy has begun to work in many areas of illustration particularly book jackets. A closer look at her illustrations reveals clever hidden clues about their subject, which can be found in places such as patterns on clothes, curtains or wall paper. She also enjoys creating many different styles of hand-rendered lettering which is yet another area she has been able to explore.
