Taking inspiration from moments where life is at its most vibrant and sensations are heightened, Lara encapsulated what it is to feel on the verge of victory, of ecstasy, of being transported out of the everyday. To Lara, this is life as she sees it, and Life in Motion as a collection offered an enthralling glimpse into these momentary flashes of wonder.
A classically trained contemporary artist based between London, Wiltshire and Cornwall, Lara grew up amidst the beaches of Cornwall and the rolling hills of the countryside.
Her training in Florence and Barcelona has allowed her to develop a style that combines the classical with individual impressionism and imbues her work with a real sense of vibrancy and life.
After a stellar solo show at Coningsby Gallery, London in November 2020, and a selection at The Spring Show with Nadia Waterfield Fine Art as well as the Mall Galleries, London in 2021, Lara returned with an exciting new body of work that encapsulates her way of thinking about art.
Art is life, and life is art, and in her collection you can feel Lara’s take on the world around her and the passages of life that inspire her.
“It was so exciting to host a second solo show after hiding my work away for the past 18 months”, reflected Lara following the final day of her exhibition.
“Once again, I felt nervous to show a new collection but have been thrilled at the response. I have learnt so much and now have new ideas and aims to work on going forward. This career is a long journey and this show has hopefully been a step in the right direction to learning and developing.”
The exhibition, which took place at The Gallery at Green & Stone on Fulham Road in London at the end of September, was accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue as well as an online show.
