Lotty Adam’s practice is rooted in the ephemeral qualities of the natural world. She explores the complex emotions and socio-cultural influences that define the human experience. Inspired by her relationship with herself and the external world, Lotty’s work delves into the transient, expressive, and unpredictable nature of life.
She explores ‘meaning-making’, trying to understand the complexities of society, culture, identity, and connection. Her work is imbued with storytelling, self-exploration, play, and an openness that invites viewers to engage with their own emotions and perceptions.
Lotty believes that creating artwork is inherently relational, and as an artist she continually both informs and is informed by the world around her and her choices within it. She develops her process by infusing Helen Frankenthaler’s theme ‘No Rules’, which allows creation to be intuitive, spontaneous, and unconstrained. This subsequently allows for unsolicited results to occur, stimulated by raw emotion, energy, and movement that characterise her expressive artwork.

Her practice incorporates mediums and concepts in conjunction; the qualities of the mediums and her process reflect her interpretations of the emotional, intellectual, and socio-cultural elements that shape the world. In particular, inks can only be manipulated and controlled to an extent, this allows for unpredictable results stiumlated by raw emotion, energy, and movement that is generated when creating her expressive artwork. This transience is also reflective of the often uncertain and volatile experience of human existence.
