Lucy Ash(I)
- Animation Department

Lucy Ash is an abstract painter and filmmaker who draws on her life's experience to express her emotional response to love, death and injustice. She was heavily influenced by her time spent working in animation studios on a number of films including Alan Parker's 'The Wall' and has continued to produce short films to amplify her ideas. Mathematics, time and the battle against the odds thrown by life are key themes.
Lucy has exhibited internationally including 'one woman' and group exhibitions in London and New York. In 2010 Lucy began working on the series 'Wrong Place Wrong Time' after her close fiend Jenny Baynham's brother was brutally murdered in a homophobic attack by a gang of teenagers in Trafalgar Square. The series marked a change in style and the beginning of a new type of work, which struck a chord and was picked up by the media. Since then Lucy's work has been successfully auctioned by Stonewall at their Equality Fundraising dinner, and her subsequent one woman show '49 Frames of Love' was transferred from the William Road Gallery, London to The Heartbreak Gallery in Marylebone London in 2012. Invited to contribute to 10 days 'Creative Collisions' October 2013, Winchester Cathedral and to 'Art for Youth' at the RCA, Kensington 2014.
She has done a number of commissions for companies most notably the Sony Radio Academy Awards brand identity. Knopf published her cookbook 'A Taste of Astrology' in 1988, which was subsequently picked up by Sainsbury's and serialized by Gourmet Magazine USA.
Originally a student at Central St Martins she also studied at Camberwell College of Art. Lucy lives and works in London.
