ARTIST INFO

About 

Lucie Flynn is a contemporary artist who has moved into creating large scale paintings on the streets, her work is instantly recognisable and stands out loud and proud - nothing comes close to her dynamic style and the path in which she practices her form.  Using combinations of spray paint, acrylic, inks and collage Flynn builds bright, clashing palettes with bold sweeps and splatters, layers of paint pulse and crackle. 
 
After attending Reigate School of Art she began her art career producing and exhibiting work on the top floor of The Dragon, Shoreditch, with artists such as Julie Verhoeven and Wolfgang Tilmans when the area was a hotspot for creatives who are now household names, i.e.: Jake and Dinos Chapman, Scott King, Ben Eine and Banksy. Around this time, Flynn was scouted to work in the production and management team at Damien Hirst’s studio and alongside him on international exhibitions and his personal art collection.  
Lucie continues to push the boundaries of what is expected of a gallery artist - mixing things up with her street style that is undeniably unique and would be hard to compare.
