Lucy WIlliams

I just discovered British artist Lucy Williams. Her work is unbelievable in its craftsmanship. These tediously constructed pieces are paper or board cut in low relief. She may include other elements to the paper sculptures to create collages with string, paint, or pillow stuffing. In all of the work she depicts architectural interior or exterior modern imagery that one generally sees in architecture books or in the likes of Dwell Magazine.

So flawless is the depiction of the scenes within, these works could easily be compared to photography or photo-realism painting in their ability to transport the viewer to the given location.

Lucy Williams artwork can be found at Timothy Taylor Gallery, London

as well as at McKee Gallery, NYC.

Richard Learoyd

Exquisitely intimate. These sitters are obviously vulnerable, many are completely bare, yet they seem defiant in their determination to face the world with fortitude.

Learoyd's prints are large format, the images painstakingly made with a camera obscura.
