Cythera

Cornish artist Juliette Paull masterfully blends abstraction and figuration in her evocative compositions, marked by subtle, gestural brushwork. Her art, inspired by Romanticism and explorations of the sublime in the 18th century, engages in a personal dialogue with the historical aesthetic and dramatic landscape of her West Cornwall home. “Cythera,” her large-scale work, draws from the mythical birthplace of Venus, embodying the fantastical. As with each work exhibited in The Lawrence, it resonates with the room’s nautical theme honouring World War I Naval Officers.
