Lydia McKee (b.1998) is a London-born abstract artist. She began painting at a young age and has continued to create art throughout her life. Lydia uses her art as an exploration of self expression, emotion and experience.

 

Lydia thrives on working on a large scale, utilizing the movements of her body to guide the composition of her work and to apply her unique mark-making techniques. Her artistic approach involves painting her larger scale works from a ladder, directly onto raw canvas, a defining feature of her practice.

 

More often, her artistic vision is shaped by internal emotions, technique, and color theory, with each pigment acting as a path through the emotional mazes she creates. Her paintings invite viewers to get lost in their complexity, revealing hidden details and layers with every new gaze—an immersive experience that defines her distinctive style.

Lydia is currently working full time from her studio in Los Angeles, California.
