Contents

Education

Cox received a Master of Arts (MA) in Culture, Policy and Management from City, University of London, a Bachelor of Arts with Honours (BA Hons) in Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Arts, University of the Arts London and a Foundation Degree (FdA) in Art & Design from Kingston University London in collaboration with School of Art & Design, Kingston College. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Practice

Cox has exhibited her paintings in the UK and internationally, including an exhibition of British painters in China, [5] [6] [7] [8] and has curated exhibitions in London. [9] [10] Andy Parkinson wrote of her work, "Lucy Cox's playful geometric arrangements, almost inhabiting a believable three dimensional space, seem to celebrate the ways in which colour creates spatial ambiguities and irregularities". [11] Sharples [3] described Cox's paintings as compositions which "reveal vivid organic and geometric shapes, gradations of colour, exchanges and explorations of the figure/ground relationship between translucency and opaqueness", while Robert Priseman describes her abstract paintings as "juxtaposing the autonomy of geometry with repetition and spontaneity". [12] She is a member of Contemporary British Painting [2] and on the advisory board of The Priseman Seabrook Collections. [13]
