After a brief hiatus (and a baby!) Lucy Foo has moved back to Oxford (where she grew up) with a view to continue painting and drawing. This will be her first Artweeks.

Lucy Foo is an Oxford based abstract conceptual artist influenced by;

- The Perceptual Sensitivity of Impressionism
- Expressivity of Romanticism
- Consciousness of Realism
- Experience of Abstract Expressionism
- Velocity of Neo Expressionism
- Freedom of Surrealism
- Balance of the Renaissance
- Symbolism of Societal Post Modernism

Creating works that are personal ontological representations of human reality, commonly explored ideas are; Henri Bergson's Matter and Memory, Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of perception, Friedrich Nietzsche's history, Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics and Jean-Paul Sartre's Burden of Responsibility, Angst, Bad Faith and Authenticity.

Lucy Foo will be using Artweeks 2025 to showcase new paintings from her 'Many Truths' Series.

These works have a basis in her thesis on a new duality when looking at Jeff Wall’s photographic fictional works (a copy of the thesis can be found here https://www.lucyfoo.com/works/projects).

At speed, using C.S Peirce's semiotic theory, Maurice Merleay-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception and Henri Bergson’s theory of time, matter and memory one can begin to uncover a new genre of artwork that sits between film, photography and painting/drawing. A reality that sits between a memory and a dream.
