Lara Scobie presents her second solo exhibition with the Gallery – Grapphica. Lara’s new collection in fine parian porcelain features both bold and delicate layered, linear patterns.

‘Graphic pattern and bold colour continue to be a source of great enjoyment within my work. I have been exploring new qualities within the surface, concentrating on the texture of surface pattern and expanding on my interest in pattern and textiles including the warp and weft of woven cloth and layered stitching. My interests lie in both colour and texture, working with these elements to develop a symbiotic relationship of both surface and form.’ – Lara Scobie, 2021

Lara Scobie

Born: 1967

Lara studied ceramics at Camberwell College of Arts in London and has a Post Graduate from Edinburgh College of Art. Her current work is predominantly concerned with the dynamic interplay between form and pattern. This is explored through the cohesive integration of drawing, surface mark making and volume. She is equally interested in the space that surrounds pattern as much as the hue and texture of the decorated surface. This theme has been developed further within her ‘Tilted Bowls’ that articulate the symbiotic relationship between pattern and form. Surface pattern and colour observed in botanical life enable Lara to explore her love of colour and abstract pattern making.

Public Collections include:Paisley Museum, Glasgow, Scotland; Triennale de Porcelaine, Nyon, Switzerland; McManus Galleries, Dundee, Scotland; The Beaches Museum, Kansas State University, USA
