Lydia Blakeley: Solo Show 2025

Part of the inaugural exhibition “Stilled Images” held at Tube Gallery and one of our Solo Show artists for the upcoming 2025 programme, Lydia Blakeley’s subject matter is, quite simply, the world around her. The paintings are her observations of what surrounds her, often first translated through the screen of her camera-phone or her laptop, and then translated once more into the medium of paint. More subtly though, her works are about a particular form of looking at the world, and that is through the filter of aspiration. Her subject-matter ranges from seemingly perfect holiday scenes, mid-century modernist home decoration, the perfect smile, hip food and drinks, streetwear and even the esoteric world of best-in-show pets.
