Using wide and loaded brushes, working with a distinctive alla prima technique, Erin Lawlor creates images that are at once highly evocative and yet deliberately open.

‘Cat on the raz and other tales from fish island’ presents a selection of works, painted in Lawlor’s studio on fish island in the East End of London.

In them, the artist continues to explore notions of an abstract narrative - Lawlor has herself in the past described her work as ‘visual onomatopoeia’ in reference to the capacity of paint to express both implicitly and viscerally.
