Born in New York in 1990, Lucy Bull is a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles primarily known for her dreamlike paintings.

Bull creates synesthetic canvases filled with shapes and layers of paint that prompt personal interpretations.

Amorphous shapes, textured patterns and bright colors are key features of her works, which merge the abstract and the surreal.

Bull’s method of creation is a process-based mediation between calculation and impulse; first employing loose brushwork, the artist then builds upon it, layer by layer, until she finally reaches a trance-like abstraction.

As she engages in these open-ended painterly experiments, Bull makes room for both precision and abandon, inviting viewers to participate in ever-unfinished processes of creation that she choreographs but never fully controls.

Her work is in the permanent collections of Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts; Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; MAMCO Geneva; Dallas Museum of Art; and Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami.
