Lawrence Blackman was born in Worcester in 1981. He has since lived across England, Japan and Korea, and traveled widely, being involved in projects across Asia, Europe, Indonesia and Kenya. He is now based in London.
He pursues art as an ongoing process of understanding, with the work representing the residue of that act. Drawings represent a moment, presented as collections or as wall drawings. Assembled or altered objects from every day life act as propositions, as an attempt to draw meaning from the surrounding world, ourselves, and our motivations.
Through the experimental character Lozt, he explores the realms of fantasy self, and the freedom of relinquishment of identity. Through this he explores notions of identity, and the nature of the creative act.
Lawrence also works through residency, education, and public intervention, intended to develop public and cultural awareness and enablement.
He has exhibited and been published internationally.
