Lucy Jaffe
Birmingham artist Lucy Jaffe uses her paintings as metaphors for human drama. In the triptych Reflections on Passion, a stag/tree seems to rush into the composition to steal, or perhaps embrace, the symbol of love; "nature" leans toward "domesticity" suggesting one of life's tender moments. Overall, her acrylic paintings incorporate the artist's concerns with the conflicts of living in a man-made environment.
