Tidy Your Room, 2018, ink on paper
Clair Lycett’s artistic practice is largely influenced by the chaos and colour that has become a part of her home while raising a family. The artist’s work focuses on colour, line and light, recently influenced by the surprising forms of her children’s toys, and how her children play with and group these objects together.
The drawings are produced without any pre-planning, but rather as a spontaneous and immediate reaction to the objects. Her bold technique aims to document the fun, freedom and chaotic nature of play.
Clair Lycett
Clair Lycett graduated from Bath Spa University in 1995 with a BA Hons in Fine Art. In 2005 Lycett moved her home and art practice to St Albans.
She creates still-life drawings and paintings that focus on colour, light and line, expressing the complexities related to how light can emphasise and distort. Lycett's latest collection of work is based on the chaos and riot of colour that has exploded into her home since having children.
