Lawrie Hutcheon Art

I am a self-taught artist delving into semi-abstract interpretations of the metaphysical, with a particular emphasis on exploring concepts like time, space, and scale. My curiosity extends to cognitive neuroscience, providing insights into how the eye and brain process visual information to comprehend the surrounding world. Drawing from these insights, I aspire to craft my own techniques that evoke emotion and stimulate thought.

After years of sculpting three-dimensionally with hand-built and wheel-thrown/altered ceramic forms, I've recently shifted my focus primarily to two-dimensional work. This transition presented a notable challenge, moving from the subdued colour palettes inherent in stoneware glazes to embracing a more expansive range of colours. The impact of colour on my work has been profound, akin to the way David Hockney described the transformative effect of Californian light and colour after relocating from the often overcast West Yorkshire. Currently, my artistic exploration centres on colours and their dynamic relationships.

In addition to my present pursuits, I incorporate elements from my past experimentation with asymmetric ceramic forms. This influence is evident in both the imagery I create and occasionally in the design and crafting of unique polygonal, asymmetric frames. More developments in this direction are on the horizon.

My time is shared between my wonderful North Yorkshire Coast studio which overlooks the forever changing sea and sands and my London studio.
