Allegra Lavinia Fleur is a figurative artist based in Glasgow, working across drawing, printmaking and painting. Drawing is central to her practice as it offers a space for reflection, as she works from the small moments surrounding her. Figures within her works are the people closest to her, drawing moments of pause, coffee breaks, meal times and conversations between friends.
What occupies her in drawing is the moments of quiet;
The way someone's hands rest on their coffee cup,
How two friends' silhouettes cross over,
How a figure stretches across a chair in a jumbled mess,
Drawing becomes a place for reflection and escapism.

These drawings are then brought back into the studio, dissected, manipulated and layered to offer the substance for paintings and prints. The imagination is combined with these drawings, creating works in a dream-like state, blurring reality into a myth. For Lavinia Fleur, drawing from life is important as it feels like the most authentic way to work.

Recently, Lavinia Fleurs' practice has been preoccupied with sleep. The stillness and intimacy of the sleeping figure etching these moments otherwise forgotten into paper. Sleep offers us a place to disappear into, escape and drift between the bedsheets. These works explore the nothingness and intimacy of these lifeless bodies on top of the sheets.
