Cathy Lomax is a London based painter. Her work is a contemporary and personal exploration of popular culture, beauty, celebrity and identity. Lomax has an MA Fine Art from Central St Martins and is the director of Transition Gallery in East London. She also edits two art and culture magazines, Arty and Garageland and in 2016 she started a PhD at Queen Mary University of London, researching the role of makeup in the creation of the female star image. 'I am interested in the seductive imagery of popular culture and in particular how it is constructed, consumed and related to. My work assimilates the seductive imagery of film, fame and fashion and juxtaposes it with personal narratives and the everyday. The resulting paintings and installations play with history by combining information from disparate sources to form fragmented stories; new groupings and categories that chart a curious contemporary longing for something unobtainable.' |
