- Lucy Sparrow (born 8 July 1986) is a contemporary artist originating from Bath, England. She works at the intersection of contemporary art and craft setting the agenda for textiles within the urban art scene. She works mainly with felt and wool, creating life-sized replicas in addition to oversized soft versions of existing objects. Her work often features the SSRI prescription drug Prozac and often features Sparrows interpretations of the retail environment, the intricacies of product branding throughout the modern era and her full-sized representations of supermarkets. In the early stages of her career, Sparrow was involved in a number of notable group shows in the UK. She was a contributor to the Victoria and Albert Museum 2013 travelling street art collection alongside Banksy, Blek le Rat, Jamie Hewlett, Pure Evil, D*Face and urban illustrator Oh Jiwon. Her first solo show at Hoxton Gallery was Imitation, which recreated famous artworks out of felt, including a shark in a tank by Damien Hirst. Following from her participation in group shows, Sparrow launched her first UK solo show in 2014 before moving on to release her first international solo show, 8 'till Late in 2017 in America. Since 2017, Sparrow has continued to exhibit globally across America and Asia in addition to the UK. (en)
