Serena Fokschaner examines the return to interior art, with a clutch of bright young artists looking to beautiful rooms for inspiration

In this episode, Lottie talks about how she became interested in painting her signature period interiors and why people are absent from them, how she makes references to modern British mainly female artists, the importance of making work that’s visually appealing that bursts with symbolism and deeper meaning for those who want it, the influence of poetry and why portrayals of girls reading are a recurring feature in several of her paintings.

Meet British artist Lottie Cole who shares her process and preparing her new exhibition, ‘A Commonplace Collection of Paintings’, a solo exhibition of new works at Long & Ryle.
