About The Artwork

UPDATE It is an absolute thrill to announce that I have a painting selected for this years John Moores Painting Prize. The John Moores Painting Prize brings together the best in contemporary British painting right now. Supporting artists from all over the UK – whether they’re undiscovered, emerging or established in their careers – the prize provides a platform for artists to inspire, disrupt and challenge the British painting art scene today. All entries are judged anonymously over a two-stage selection process by our panel of judges. The competition will culminate in exhibition held at the Walker Art Gallery In partnership with John Moores Painting Prize Trust. The exhibition will be held at the Walker Art Gallery on 12 February 2021, running until 27 June 2021. www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/jmpp/ This is part of a series of paintings inspired by wishing trees. I am fascinated by the rituals of trying fragments of fabric on to a designated tree. Such trees are identified as possessing a special religious or spiritual value. 'Wishes' are left in hope of having a wish granted, or a prayer answered, from a nature spirit, saint or goddess, depending on the local tradition. This painting is a personal attempt to convey a year in the life of a ‘wishing tree’ - a project I started and observed over the year 2019 and the hopeful/lessness of the act of leaving a 'wish'.

Biography Lara Cobden is a figurative painter living and working in Norfolk. Following a degree in Painting at the University of Brighton, Lara spent 11 years in Ireland before relocating to East Anglia. Her work has been exhibited in the UK and internationally. 'Focusing on memory and sense of place, the paintings are a subjective and individual response to the natural world around me, seeing the fantastical and magical in nature. I hope there is both a stillness and fluidity in my work; in the ordinary - a sense of reverence. Paintings evolved from remembered landscapes and casual snapshots, shimmer and shift in and out of focus, both misty and precise. This balance is also contained within the composition of a painting; presence and absence. The thread pulling this work together is about 'coming home', belonging; or conversely a sense of ' unbelonging'. '
