What is Lucy Sparrow famous for?
Lucy Sparrow is famous for her art. Sparrow works in the UK and has a practice that is quirky yet subversive, luring the audience in with her soft, tactile, colorful felt creations before hitting them hard with her comments on subjects ranging from the demise of the traditional high street to censorship in pornography. Sparrow took the art world by storm in the summer of 2014 with the opening of her fully stocked felt Cornershop installation in London’s East End. Since then, her work has been shown internationally in galleries and at art fairs, including Art Basel, Scope Miami and the New York Affordable Art Fair.
