Lucy Kent’s Dusk II explores the fleeting transition between daylight and evening, a moment that has long fascinated landscape painters for its rapidly changing atmosphere. Rather than anchoring the scene to a recognisable location, Kent allows the impressions of an evening sky to guide her painting, reflecting her broader interest in the emotional experience of the natural world. Based in Wiltshire, Kent initially trained in classical portraiture at Charles Cecil Studios in Florence and London Fine Arts Studios. This foundation in traditional observation continues to inform her landscapes, although working outdoors has encouraged a freer, more instinctive approach. Painting both en plein air and in the studio, she frequently develops studies made directly from nature into more expressive compositions, balancing immediate observation with the possibilities of abstraction. In Dusk II, the transition towards evening becomes an opportunity to explore the relationship between light, atmosphere and memory. Kent's increasingly abstract approach places her within a contemporary tradition of British landscape painting, capturing the essence of a fleeting moment rather than its precise geographical setting.
