Lucinda Penn brings together foundations of art and design across large scale murals to detailed digital formats, striving to inject colour into life. Based on Kaurna Land in Adelaide, South Australia, her work dissects human experiences in an attempt to understand them and seek connection with viewers. She deconstructs life into symbolic fragments, and uses colour theory to construct these into new intertwining compositions to narrate stories and express feelings.
Signing her pieces with the shortening LCND, her longest printed mural was over 450m on hoarding (Festival Plaza, Adelaide CBD, 2022-2024) and her tallest painted wall is three stories high at 10m (Studio Safari, Adelaide CBD, 2022.) Lucinda loves running her mural workshops where she engages in the community in helping paint her designs and she is interested in using her surplus mural paint to transform found and unwanted surfaces in her studio practice.
Lucinda completed an art residency at Arteventura (Spain, 2024), painting her first international mural in Corteconcepcion (Andalusia). She was invited to paint a mural at Teufelsberg Street Art Gallery (Berlin) and finished her tour with a mural at Libertailia Brewery in Leyton (London). Lucinda won a Resene Total Colour Award (New Zealand, 2023), had two projects in the Australian Graphic Design Awards Finalists (2023) and won a Good Design Award for her collaborative mural residency, painting a mural in response to climate change with 150 students at Woodville High School (2024).
