Lydia SmithBiography
Lydia Smith, born in 1995, is a multi-disciplined artist working with historical and contemporary processes to realise her works. Her studio is based in Trafalgar Square, central London. Through her practice, she explores the theme of human connection, which encompasses sub-topics, including Ancient History, Technology, Science, and Spirituality. She uses the physical and digital landscape to create sculptures, paintings and digital art. Working with the ancient material, clay, she enters a flow state, allowing her concepts to express themselves subconsciously; once complete, using her unique method, her work metamorphoses into the digital realm. These pixilated forms inform the evolution of her process.
Smith was trained in academic sculpture at the University of the Arts London (2014-2017). She also continued training at private ateliers in Greece, Spain and France. Smith’s career regularly involves commissioned work within the British Film industry and collaborations with luxury brands. She has also represented Great Britain in international Snow and Ice carving championships in Switzerland and China. Exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery (2022), Christie’s (2023), Had her first solo show in Soho central London (2022) and co-produced the duo show ‘Soft Spaces’ in New Bond Street, Mayfair (2023).
