ABOUT


Larain Briggs is a British painter with a multi-disciplinary approach. Born in 1960, she grew up in Kent and later moved to London. Now living on the East Coast, she is working on her doctorate in fine art at the University of East London. 


Inspired by Jungian concepts, her work establishes a dialogue with the unconscious to facilitate individuation through transformative processes. In line with Jungian theory, she perceives the impact of radical changes in philosophy, religion, science, and art in the postmodern world as an archetypal apocalypse where humanity collectively faces a global catastrophe of an unknown scale. The sense of awe and fear at the ever-increasing overwhelming complexity of our digital world has focused her research on the meta-crisis and the digital sublime. She draws inspiration from artists Anselm Kiefer and Bill Viola, who have a similar conceptual base and the theorists Huston Smith and Simon Morely.


Briggs extends her creative practice by exploring installation, video and assemblage, investigating the distinction between the frame, the surface and the three-dimensional space drawing on the work of artists Sarah Sze and Matthew Ritchie. Digital media, including AI, VR, and photomanipulation, inform the content of her painting. 


Since obtaining a BA in fine art at Camberwell College of Arts in the 1980s, Briggs has exhibited extensively, supplementing her practice with studies in Computer Aided Visualisation, Art Education, Psychology, and Art Therapy at Goldsmiths, the University of East Anglia and the Institute for Art in Therapy and Education.
