Lorien Haynes

British artist Lórien Haynes studied under Royal Academy of Art tutor Dilip Ur and after moving to LA in 2009, continued her work with Californian painter George Small. 

She has had three successful solo shows
UNBAREABLE at The Art Studio, Santa Monica
barefacedcheek, at The Quest, Venice
Did You See Her? @ Other, Hollywood.

She has had a recent duo show in DTLA - Diss/embodied with Jared Hendler, exhibited as THE OTHER ART FAIR and was selected there to be profiled in 31 WOMEN - a curated selection of work by female artists.

Her work also features in Amy Berg’s film Every Secret Thing.

Known for her oversize charcoal nudes, Lórien combines a traditional figurative aesthetic with sculpted, three-dimensional movement and builds this over separate sheets, visibly taped. Tactile and visceral, her charcoals have been exhibited in London at The Haymarket and bought by The Saatchi Gallery. 

Artistic Statement
All my pieces are named after strong women I love. I want to celebrate the female form as it is - not how we are conditioned to believe it should be. My figures do not meet your gaze. They stand in their own right. Think their own thoughts. They are independent strong minded women.
And this is a time to stand ...
