Lucia Volker (Victoria, BC)

December 2, 2024 Red Head Gallery

2023.12, 2023. Mixed media on mounted panel, 24 x18 x 1.5 in.

Bio

Lucia Volker is an interdisciplinary artist and designer who explores abstraction using various techniques in painting, printmaking and site-specific mixed media installations. Lucia has developed a vast body of work shown in galleries across the United States and Canada, including ZINC Contemporary in Seattle, Moore Art Project in Portland and Art Access in Salt Lake City. Select residencies include Assets for Artists at MASS MoCA, The Ou Gallery, and Leña Artist Research and Residency Centre on Galiano Island. In 2023 she collaborated with the City of Victoria for the downtown Art-in-Kisok public art initiative. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Art in Printmaking from the University of Utah in 2012 and a Diploma of Interior Design from Pacific Design Academy in 2024. She grew up in Salt Lake City, UT, and currently lives and works in Victoria, BC.

Artist Statement

I explore colour, line and pattern by responding intuitively to the materials and composition as the piece develops. By focusing on formal elements of design at the core, I use repetitive marks and shapes in a variety of mediums to settle into a meditative creative process, which is reflected back to the viewer, often using repeating imagery. Sometimes I want to create a sense of tension through color or line, other times I want the work to feel vastly open and atmospheric by letting the marks speak for themselves. My background in printmaking continues to inform my approach to artmaking by working in layers, thinking about opacity and transparency, and how the materials relate back to the specific narrative of each piece. I move freely between painting, drawing, collage and installation, and I find new possibilities for mark-making within each material and process.
