Lily Bunney is a London-based artist whose work explores the human experience in the digital age. Her pointillist drawings play with the analogue and digital, creating works that look hyper-digital on screen while remaining strikingly intimate and tactile in person. Inspired by the link between computers and Jacquard looms, Bunney’s practice examines vulnerability, digital consumption, and personal narratives in an era of overwhelming information abundance. Her work investigates how we construct and share our stories in the digital age, transforming ephemeral content into monumental artworks. Through examinations of trauma, parasocial relationships, and fan culture, she interrogates contemporary experiences of intimacy and recognition.

Recent exhibitions include: ‘Girls Peeing On Cars’, Guts Gallery, 2024; ‘Fantasizing About Wild Horses’ Miłość Gallery, 2024; ‘Main Protagonist’, Slug Town, 2024.
