Artist Talk: Kate Lyddon

Kate came to Camberwell today to give a talk on her current practice. You could instantly tell that she has been strongly influenced by Francis Bacon; her paintings almost like a contemporary verison however using a brighter palette and perhaps more extreme figurative elements. Her work then progressed to scultpure, using ceramics to create these quite disturbing yet comical characters, with the additional use of paint and objects. Kate is now in the process of combining both painting and sculpture creating a more installational context for the work.
