Lucy Pass is a self-taught contemporary portrait painter, currently living and working in Cheltenham, UK. Her work is focused on unpicking traditional portraiture in order to explore what lies deep within ourselves. Fragments of faces are defaced with expressive abstract marks, shapes and shocks of colour to create a visual conversation of absence and addition, inviting the viewer to ask questions and fill in the blanks.
She appeared on Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year 2019 and has since has been very prolific, intensively exploring and expanding her practice and as a result has her work in private collections all over the world.
