Sweet swimming pool
I remember seeing Lucy Williams’ artwork a while back in my Elle Décor magazine. I was immediately taken by the architectural, three-dimensional nature of her work. Her work is pristine and geometric and yet jumps out of its boundaries.
She uses a combination of materials and assembles them pre-cut with an x-acto knife in collage fashion. They appear to look nearly photo realistic upon first glance until you start realizing the materials that are used — minute pieces of paper, painted canvas, toothpicks and even bubble wrap at times. She tends to have a fascination with swimming pools but her subjects are iconic types of mid-century architecture.
I really like her work for it’s 2 dimensional dichotomy in also being sculptural, a very modern bas-relief of sorts and at the same time a flattened, 3-D model with paper.
We’ll do Battersea by Hooverphonic to Kick-Start the Weekend. It’s interesting to see how their recorded version (previous link and below) is so different from their live version. I like the recorded version better. Notice how the artwork above seems similar to Hooverphonic’s album cover.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
