Interview with Lucy Smallbone on The Wick
From the article: ‘Through her colourful, fantastical oil paintings, London-based artist Lucy Smallbone looks to interrogate how reliably we remember places visited in the past. How accurate are the pictures held in the mind’s eye, or shown in a rose-tinted photograph captured through a lens we, ourselves, pointed? At her studio in Brixton, she creates works that blur the boundaries between real and fictional spaces, reminding the viewer how stories told and retold can distort reality.’
