Lucy Caddel Art
Shropshire Tropicalia
Dopamine Dressing for your Walls
Artist & educator Lucy Caddel creates vibrant, colourful life-affirming art. Extensive time spent living and working in South and Central America has imbued her work with a funky Latino-inspired colour-palette, which brings her unique, joyful style to the everyday. Rich hues, electric neons, and luscious application in mouth-watering fields of pattern and form ensure the broad appeal of Lucyβs work to all colour-loving maximalists.
Lucyβs paintings stimulate the senses on all levels - Food and drink and the sensual experience are recurring themes in her painting. All the senses sight, touch, taste, smell and sound come into her work in various forms: the bright yellow of urgent lemons, the texture of skin, peel and fur; the feel of traditional woven fabrics collected from travels, deliriously heady cocktails, fascinating books and much-loved vinyl records.
