Artist Biography

Lucy Gogoliuk uses the tapestry of their personal memories and experiences to create a body of work of introspection. Having earned a Masters of Arts in Painting & History of Art from the University of Edinburgh, Gogoliuk continued their artistic journey at The Royal Drawing School in London, where they honed their craft. It was here that Gogoliuk discovered their affinity for watercolour. They explore themes of fragmentation and connection, navigating the intricate interplay between form and emotion.  Through their art, Gogoliuk confronts the complexities of trauma, memory, and healing, inviting viewers into a world of introspection and empathy. With every light square they shift darkness to light. They continue to draw inspiration from bizarre minutae of everyday life and infuse it with imaginative colour and form in an attempt to find beauty in the small painful moments of the everyday. 


Artist Statement:

In the fluidity of paint, I find a language of emotion and experience. Each block of colour is a fragment of memory, reshaped and redefined.

My work is a reflection of my journey and is shaped by the landscapes of my memory. Drawing upon grid-based compositions I navigate themes of trauma and healing.  

Through the interplay of form and emotion, I seek to turn darkness into light. With every square of colour I find beauty within sadness.
