We are delighted to share that Lottie Cole, a core member of the LHS Collection, has been named an Artist to Watch in 2026 by Seen Art. This recognition highlights her distinctive painting practice and growing presence within contemporary art.
In their feature, Seen Art describes Cole’s work as inviting viewers into “meticulously constructed interiors that, at first glance, feel warm, inviting, even cozy.” Beneath these polished surfaces, her paintings reveal a nuanced exploration of the veneer of domesticity, class, and the intellectual constructs we associate with the idea of “home.”
Cole’s carefully composed interiors balance familiarity with quiet unease, encouraging viewers to look beyond surface comfort and consider the social and cultural narratives embedded within domestic spaces. Her work unfolds psychologically as much as visually, rewarding close attention and sustained engagement.
Lottie Cole’s work is currently on view as part of the Winter Group Show at Linden Hall Studio, and is also available to view at Two Studios on Deal High Street. Being named an Artist to Watch in 2026 by Seen Art is a significant endorsement of her evolving practice, and we are proud to support her work as part of the LHS Collection.
