Lauren Foulkes

Date of birth 25.May.84
Country of residence United Kingdom

An interest in children’s fairy tales, film and literature drives this work. My interest is not only in the appearance of the imagery connected with these tales but more importantly what they convey and how they achieve it. How make believe can reflect reality and vice versa. A wolf dressed in ladies clothing creates an image that holds both contradiction and danger, it is the oddity of the situation that appeals. I am attracted to the Fear, comedy, comfort and awkwardness that are made to work together. It provides an arena to experiment with negative and positive emotions thrown up in the painting.
