Venue 30 – Starbucks

Laurence Pusey

Painting

“I grew up in Nigeria, where my father worked in water supplies, digging wells. I studied painting, illustration, and art education, which led to a teaching post in Reading. Following that, I took a break as a church outreach worker before I returned full-time as an artist. I love to paint landscapes; often there is a floral element, or the shifting patterns of the sea come to the fore.”

“My practice explores the unseen realms of light and energy through art, science, and technology. It reveals the hidden connections between humans, nature, and the microscopic world. Driven by curiosity, my practice invites a deep sense of interconnectedness, expanding our perception beyond the limits of human senses.”

Photography

“I’m a gig photographer from Tadcaster who enjoys supporting local bands in local venues. I have recently graduated from De Montfort University. I used my MA in Contemporary Art Practice to highlight the importance of grassroots venues and the need to support local bands in the music industry. This collection of photographs captures the vibrant music scene of Leeds, a city renowned for its rich, diverse culture and thriving music venues.”
