Lauren Fahey is a contemporary painter and object maker originally from Gundungurra country, living and working in Naarm / Melbourne. Utilising painting as a site of encounter, Lauren’s practice aims to negotiate social conditions of the ecological landscape through the intersection of her rural and urban lived experience. Embedded with memory and feeling, the personal works invite open-ended questions around stewardship and responsibility of land, allocation of resources and the continual transformation under capitalism that has redefined the capacities and treatment of space. Drawing upon a melange of contemporary practitioners and historical artists, her work considers the role of painting and art objects' as channels to document and reflect on the contemporary moment. 

Lauren completed a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) at RMIT University in 2021. Since then, she has been involved in solo and group exhibitions including GalleryGalleryInc, Salamanca Art Gallery, and Rubicon ARI.
