'Rust and Rose' 63x63cm including frame, framed in Australian natural oak.
Rust and Rose explores the beauty found in contrast, where strength meets softness, and warmth meets depth. Deep dusty pinks and dark blush tones move across the surface alongside earthy ochres and grounded browns, creating a tension that feels both bold and delicate.
This abstract piece is full of movement. Sweeping marks and layered textures reflect an emotional push and pull, a play between the worn and the refined, the rugged and the romantic. It’s a visual conversation between opposites, held together in quiet harmony.
At its core, Rust and Rose is about balance, finding grace in contrast, and stillness in motion.
Artist Bio: Lucy creates abstract works that explore the dynamic relationships between movement, texture, and colour. Her medium of choice is acrylic paints on canvas, where she uses bold, bright colours and energetic strokes to convey a sense of movement through my paintings. Lucy builds up paint to create texture, which shifts shadows throughout the day as the light changes, creating a constantly evolving experience for the viewer.
Drawing from her background as a maritime engineer, Lucy's understanding of hydrodynamics and weather systems deeply informs the fluidity and motion in her work. The ever-changing landscapes of Tasmania, particularly the mountainous terrain and patterns Lucy finds when bushwalking, are also a significant source of inspiration for her. These are reflected in the layers of Lucy's paintings, as she builds up many layers of paint to create a sense of motion and flow that invites the eye to move across the canvas.
Lucy's intention is simple: I want my art to bring colour, vibrancy, and excitement into people’s homes. Through her work, she hopes to share a little piece of the energy and beauty that she sees in the world.
