Who's it with?

Lauren Eagan is Irish artist now living and working in Bradford and Leeds. She has a BA Hons in Fine Art Painting, two postgraduate qualifications and a Masters in Visual Arts and Contemporary Practice. Lauren is exploring the body , bacteria and yeast through living materials and processes. Lauren’s practice is centred around the body. Having studied Fine Art Painting, Lauren was unhappy with the representation of the body within my work, researching what the body is beyond the confinement of the frame. Lauren challenges herself and my inner dialog to push past the relationship between frame and canvas, liquid and surface, interior and exterior. This has resulted in her current research into shame and corporeality in relation to expanded painting.
