Lauren Bryden

Born in 1987, Lauren Bryden is a Glasgow-based artist. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2010 with a BA (Hons) in Textile Design.

Working across mediums, Bryden's paintings and textile works are an intimate reflection of everyday life as a (m)other and the still and growing 'things' accompanying her through these moments, often exploring the beauty and loss of growing and the process of matrescence, through an innocent gaze. Her work moves between observational and imagined forms and scapes, holding a tenderness towards the subject with a wistful use of colour.
