Lucinda Oestreicher
Lucinda studied Post Graduate Fine Art at the Slade School of Art, after a year of post graduate printmaking at Central school of Art and a BA Hons at Corsham, Bath Academy of Art. She works in her East Sussex studio and teaches Contemporary Painting at the City Lit in London.
Her current work is a visual and embodied conversation with the landscape of East Sussex. She encounters places through the rhythm of walking, pausing when a particular configuration of shapes align at a specific moment.
In the studio this exploration of place shifts as the process of painting is allowed to take over. Images evolve through a process of reworking, erasure and overpainting. Fences and field boundaries carve up the space of the painting’s surface with an uneasy detachment. A painting may hold within it many different walks, or trace a path through several seasons – these moments of repetition and identification co-exist and interrupt in a dialogue with each other. The painting is about being within and ‘knowing’ the landscape, seeing a place over time so there is a sense of recognition, like meeting an old familiar friend.
Lucinda has exhibited her work in many group, two person, and solo exhibitions in London and the Southeast, most recently at Weald Contemporary. Her art is in a number of corporate and public collections.
Upcoming: Art for Christmas, A Group Show – 29 November - 14 December 2025
