Lindsey Lavender

An award winning painter, Lindsey maintains a busy schedule of exhibiting work throughout the UK and is represented in both public and private art collections. She is an elected Professional Member of both the Society of Scottish Artists (SSA) and Visual Arts Scotland (VAS). Lindsey lives and works in Edinburgh.

 

Lindsey originally trained and practised as a Chartered Architect. This background has given her a passion for the built environment; the buildings and the spaces in between. Lindsey is drawn to the structural elements of cities: stairways, doorways, arches, bridges; points of transition and thresholds. She is interested in the way in which light interacts with the mundane; the transformative effect of sunlight and shade on something very ordinary; essential elements upon which we tend not to focus. She explores the rhythm of light and shade, often on the seemingly ordinary; seeing the everyday in a new light.

 

"The artist: This painting examines sunlight on the dynamic forms of a concrete road bridge. I am particularly interested in the way in which the strong sunlight transforms this stretch of motorway, emphasising the dramatic intersection of routes, of seemingly interconnected, but actually separate journeys."
