Lucy Hutchings (b. Hong Kong, 2001), is a British painter based in London, England. She received a BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Leeds Art University (2022) before recieving an MA in Fine Art at City and Guilds of London Art School (2024). ​​​​​​​
​
Her figurative paintings are of environments where we transition into something unconditioned and truthful, often located in beer gardens or nightclubs. She understands these spaces as a stage for truthful performance, for people to participate in their laughable, creative and transgressive characters. Each painting is composed of imagery dervied from personal or shared experiences of gluttony and debauchary, turning familiar enviroments into unsettling and carnivalesque narratives.
