Lucile Lewin is an award-winning British artist working in London. Using the vocabulary of porcelain, glass and metal, her work explores the collision between nature and humanity.
Never literal, yet highly evocative, her seemingly fragile yet forceful organic sculptures assert the resilient energies that power the natural world whilst also revealing the frailties that make it subject to ecological collapse and unthinking human destruction.
Her work also explores the warning of the dangers of reckless technological advances such as AI — advances which we too readily accept as 'second nature'. As Lucille puts it: 'Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should.' In response, she has created two distinct bodies of work: sculptures where fine forms, resembling twigs, leaves, bark or bones are interspersed with transparent bubbles, tendrils and tubes of glass; and a series of sculptures marrying robust terracotta structures - suggestive of human figurers or trees - with copper elements.
It is through clay that Lucille's work, which may seem to find humanity at odds with nature, ultimately asserts our kinship with nature. In her hands, clay gives form to elusive thoughts, incommunicable through language, enabling Lucille to reach deep in imagination to a place where nature and human nature coincide.
Before pursuing a career in fine art, graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2017, Lucille had an influential career in fashion as Founder and Creative Director of Whistles and Creative Director of Liberty. She won the prestigious Young Masters award while still at the Royal College of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally, notably at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Messums and The Harley Museum Gallery, Connolley.
Lucile is currently preparing a new series including wall and floor installations in her London studio.
