Waiting For Nothing In Particular
Lauryn Foley Mc Loughlin is a visual artist working primarily in painting from the West of Ireland. She explores human intimacy and fleeting moments within her work. Exploring the human experience of waiting. She focuses on the materiality of paint and refining what she wants to include in her image. Often elements of drawing are present within her paintings, alluding to a sense of immediacy, as if the image were to slip away.
Lauryn’s painting practice delves into the quiet, intimate moments that exist both in solitude and between individuals. Often set in beds and domestic spaces, her figures are frequently depicted lying down or curled up, creating a sense of vulnerability and privacy. These moments, sometimes voyeuristic in nature, offer a subtle glimpse into intimate, everyday experiences.
For Lauryn, the focus is not on conceptual narrative, but rather on the physicality of paint, the tension between figuration and abstraction, and the emotive power of the materials themselves. The figures and environments she creates are not just subjects, but integral parts of a larger dialogue between texture, colour, and form.
Each painting is connected by the shared presence of figures, settings, or a cohesive colour palette, allowing Lauryn’s work to feel unified while still embracing individuality within each piece. The paintings reflect a delicate balance of abstraction and representation, inviting the viewer into a space where the familiar becomes a place of emotional resonance and introspection.
