Notes
Lydia Blakeley's subject matter is the world around her, or rather the world translated through the screen of her cameraphone or her laptop. She constantly records or screenshots what interests her in the flux of visual imagery that she is surrounded by and then uses that source material to make paintings that have a viewpoint that might be described as being grounded in a very British, or perhaps even English, cultural identity. The subject matter of her paintings includes dog shows, the crowds at British racecourses, the cults and influence of well-known British television chefs, internet memes and leisurewear associated with contemporary suburban Britain.
