Flora Lawrence

Flora is a painter based between Glasgow and London. She works with large scale abstract oil and varnish on canvas and co-founded Dornoch Street Studios in Bridgeton.

Flora has work in private collections and paintings featured in international films and TV including  HBO’s Emmy award winning series, Succession and forthcoming Baby Cow Production – The Hunchback King, directed by Stephen Frears.

She has exhibited work all over Scotland including Inverness in collaboration with WASPS Circus Arts space and locally in Glasgow taking part in two of The Alchemy Experiments open calls Love in the Time of Covid and Love and Chaos.

The painting included in The Royal Glasgow Institute is one of a series nine large works she produced throughout the pandemic – all of them using a fixed set of materials, most notably a vibrant orange spray paint.

With many opportunities to exhibit the work cancelled, or postponed, this series of nine developed into an online project. Her paintings appear literally and digitally, in public spaces around Glasgow. Flora curates and pairs her work in outside environments which have an unlikely resonance to her paintings.
