CENTRE FOR RECENT DRAWING
[7 Jan 2007]

2-4 Highbury Station Road
LONDON N1 1SB
www.c4rd.org.uk
+44 (0) 20 7871 7367

Currently at C4RD: we have Artist-in-Residence Lucinda Holmes producing work in the project space until January 15th. Holmes makes subtle sensitive works that often respond directly to the environment in which they are made. Her work is identifiable by its limited palette and use of everyday materials. In 2001 Lucinda won the Hunting Art Prizes Drawing and Print Prize. Since completing her MA at Wimbledon School of Art, Lucinda has been on an international residency in the States and has been accepted on New York’s? Drawing Center Viewing Programme.

Recent Drawing

It is possible to follow Lucinda's progress as we post regular updates online at www.c4rd.org.uk, and to visit the project space to view the work by dropping in during the day or better by appointment at lucindaholmes@hotmail.com to avoid disappointment.
