Lottie Cole’s paintings reflect her interest in Art History, provenance and the role women have played in both. She regularly looks to women artists and collectors of the past for affirmation, guidance and inspiration. She paints homes, not least because they are a realm of women, an area unlike most others where they are authored by women. Though people are rarely seen in her paintings, she believes the domestic interior contains considerable biography and human emotion from grief to celebration seen through the objects on the mantlepiece or the paintings on the wall.
Cole began a Foundation at Wimbledon Art School and went on to study Art History at St Andrews University. She enjoys reading a picture, and as such likes her work to operate on different levels – the first simply an interior – the second the decoding of allusions and objects. Lottie Cole is represented by Long and Ryle Gallery. Lottie recently exhibited works at Paul Smith in Mayfair as part of an exhibition by the Paul Smith Foundation.
