Lydia Blakeley

Lydia Blakeley's paintings depict a multitude of subjects, commentating on the general discontinuity of the images she is exposed to daily. As Blakeley remarked in an interview with Elephant magazine, "The source imagery for the inspiration behind the paintings seems to almost always originate from the digital life I spend online". Notable, is her keenly felt ability to analyse contemporary behaviour, especially the more comedic and eccentric.  Lydia Blakeley (b. 1980) gained her BA(Hons) in Fine Art from Leeds College of Art in 2016 and subsequently gained her MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths in 2019. Recent exhibitions include: after image, MAMOTH, London, UK (2020); Hellhole, Plaza Plaza, London, UK (2019); Plucky Pony Makes Break For Freedom, SET, London, UK, (2019); Mission to Touch The Sun: Sun Burnt, Paradise Works, Manchester, UK (2019); You're Doing Amazing Seeties, The Boardroom, Leeds, UK (2018) Amongst others.
