Lucy Evetts, Paper Plane (2024)
Oil on canvas
31 x 41cm
Lucy Evetts in 2024 had her first institutional solo exhibition at Flatland Projects. Her solo show ‘The Voice Inside My Head’ explored a sense of flux, through a series of contrasts and juxtapositions that populated the gallery. Restful cuddles with pets are in close contact with high-octane fire trucks, blurred night drives and signs alerting to ‘road closures’, ‘wet floors’ or ‘naked flames.’ Igniting this push and pull between safety and danger, an anxiousness pulses through this painted cohort. Playing with scale, mimicry and absurdist contradictions, flecks of humour pepper this bed of uneasiness.
