Poppy Lennox
Contemporary artist Poppy Lennox explores the human desire to seek pattern as a way of understanding the vastness and complexities of existence.
Working in paper and wood with the layering and revealing of paint and incisive, repetitive, often geometric stitched marks of thread, she looks to the structures within the cosmos and nature’s intricate systems and patterns as a means to make visible the interconnectivity of life.
The Transcendentalist belief in the divinity of nature and the importance of our connection to it informs much of Poppy’s subject matter. The titles of her works reflect on the importance of the energetic, ritualistic and sometimes spiritualist dimensions to her practice and allude to a pursuit of ascension, self-liberation or perhaps, refuge.
Poppy’s work has been shown in a number of exhibitions, private members’ clubs and art fairs including Tarpey Gallery, Derby (2024), Crypt Gallery, Norwich Cathedral (2023), 99 Projects, London (2022), Home House, London (2022) and The Other Art Fair (2022). Poppy has worked with arts mental health charities Hospital Rooms (2022) and A Space Between (2022) and is currently volunteering with ActionSpace to support artist’s with disabilities.
