Lauren Worsley

Lauren Worsley is a South African Auckland-based self-taught artist who started her art career in April 2008. 

 

Her bold oil paintings and energetic oil paint pen drawings on Perspex are inspired by a constant quest to capture a sense of energy and life force in her surroundings and to transport the viewer to a different place/time. She favours the luminosity, challenge and depth of oil paint and currently most of her work involves capturing the drama, gesture, life essence and rhythm of the human form by using contrasts and rich colour.

 

Fascinated with creating mood and presence, her work attempts to discover and portray these by experimenting with layering, colour, contrast and texture.  She currently exhibits at Art of This World Gallery, Devonport, Artel Gallery in Wellington and Pepperjacks Café, Beachlands.

 

Lauren states some of her influences as: "my relationship with nature and perception thereof, Buddhism, enlightenment, living in the moment, the balance of emotion, colour and mood, and my mother".
