Lauren Bryden
£0.00
Lauren Bryden (UK, b.1987) is a painter and printmaker working in Glasgow. Bryden’s work is an intimate reflection of the beauty and loss of growing and the process of matrescence. Her work invites the viewer into a world closely observing plants and figures working the earth, drawing a parallel between the act of growing plants and growing children. The cyclical
processes of germination, feeding, blooming and decay summon a deep compassion in the artist and offer a system by which to explore and understand the maternal experience.
The titles of the works are inspired by plant folklore and the use of plants before the reformation in the16th century, drawing on a period when the history of plants and healing was entangled with women’s rights and the witch trials. The often cropped framing of these images lends an intimacy to the subject, while utilising printmaking techniques which breathe life into the subject through chance textures, mark-making and depth.
