In Full Colour
Lauren Kelly & Jess Swift

Saturday 10th May – Saturday 31st May 2025
Tuesday, Friday and Saturday 11am – 3pm

In Full Colour is a joint exhibition by Bradford multi-disciplinary artists Lauren Kelly and Jess Swift.

Lauren's work explores themes of nostalgia, youth culture and the aesthetics of hedonism, through working with found imagery, personal archives, digital layering and hand-rendered elements.

“I am interested in collapsing the boundaries between the real and the re-imagined. Viewers are invited into that in-between space, where prettiness can be powerful, and where nostalgia though tinted rosy retrospection, still leaves something raw behind.” - Lauren Kelly

Jess's work explores neurodiversity and alternative learning methods through colours, textures and processes. She primarily works in abstract painting and contemporary sculpture.

“As a dyslexic artist, my paintings are an expression of my reclaiming ownership. I create many layers so people can immerse themselves in the progression of the work. The bright, contrasting colours evoke pleasant feelings, while also retaining the underlying experience of how my mind works.” - Jess Swift
