Lucy Routh is an artist producing unique, beautiful and refreshing still life paintings. Lucy Routh grew up in Lancashire and later went on to study fine art at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth graduating in 1997. Routh now lives and works in North Somerset. She has a distinctive style running through all of her work contrasting traditional subject matter with a unique contemporary approach. Her work is inspired by the environment around her. She chooses to paint subjects that in shape, form and color are interesting and beautiful to look at. Routh uses a combination of acrylic paint and ink to create images that are bold, bright and fresh with a sense of space and simplicity. Routh quoted, “I apply paint, color and detail only to the living or natural elements of the subject. The inanimate parts of the painting are left to a line drawing bringing the subject to the fore. I love the intensity and definition of the line as they are fluid allowing movement in the subject."
