LARA VOCE

English artist, Lara Voce paints still life works which have an abstract quality. She explores everyday objects, simplifyingtheir forms and exploring texture through her application and layering of paint. There is a luminosity to the painted surface, which is achieved through the layering, sanding back and reapplication of the paint, leaving hints of thesurface below and often ghosts of previous compositions.

Lara works from memory which explains the naïve character of the objects. She explores the composition through repetitive simplified line drawings. When the composition ‘works’, she develops these into a painting, however this often changes as she works through the layersof paint. She works exclusively in acrylic which aids the immediacy of the painting process.

Lara lives and works between the Warwickshire countryside and the Dorset coast. She studied as a Scientist at Warwick University. However, her upbringing in a house of creatives meant that Lara was pulled towards the creative world. Until recently Lara worked as a Senior Interior Designer at Aston Martin where she honed her creative eye. Her current collection shows her eclecticism: from small minimalist paintings to larger gestural still life works.
