Lucy Bull

Lucy Bull (b. 1990) is an American artist whose work pushes the boundaries of abstraction, creating vibrant, dynamic pieces that explore the emotional resonance of color, texture, and form. Her work is deeply rooted in the materiality of painting, with each piece emphasizing tactile surfaces and vibrant hues that evoke a visceral response from the viewer. Bull’s art is a sensory experience, where color and form move beyond mere aesthetic appeal to engage viewers on an emotional and psychological level.

Bull’s most celebrated works include her large-scale abstract paintings, which are often characterized by their fluid, swirling patterns and bold, contrasting colors. In pieces such as Lapis (2017) and Venus (2018), she explores the physicality of paint, using layers of rich color to create depth, movement, and texture. Her work suggests a constant interplay between the organic and the geometric, drawing from both the natural world and abstract painting traditions to create images that feel both familiar and otherworldly.
