Lorna Freytag is a mixed media artist based in Oban on the north west coast of Scotland. Originally from Edinburgh Lorna studied at Gray’s School of Art and her work has taken her to New York, Sydney, Dubai and London.

She is interested in nature versus synthetic perfection, using colour and natural materials, like pressed flowers to create structured, grid-like artworks that explore systems of control and repetition.

Working across modular canvases, oversprayed works, and flag-based forms, she examines how nature is categorised, standardised and visually organised. Colour plays a central role in her work often referencing industrial palettes, swatches, signal systems and methods of classification.

The work moves between slow, traditional flower pressing and the faster, more forceful acts of overspraying colour or organising the panels into controlled grids and shapes.
