Prunella Clough's art is characterised by its unique ability to capture the beauty and complexity of everyday life. Her works often explore the overlooked and mundane aspects of urban and industrial landscapes, revealing unexpected beauty in the ordinary.


"Lorry Driver" offers a stark and thought-provoking portrayal of industrial life, showcasing Clough's distinctive style and her ability to find beauty in the mundane. In this artwork, Clough presents a solitary figure seated behind the wheel of a lorry, surrounded by the stark industrial landscape of a busy urban thoroughfare. Clough's use of colour is muted and somber, with shades of gray and brown dominating the palette, reflecting the gritty realism of the industrial setting. The textures of metal, concrete, and asphalt are rendered with meticulous detail, conveying the harshness and unforgiving nature of the urban landscape.


"Lorry Driver" serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of industrialisation and the often overlooked contributions of essential workers to society. Through her sensitive portrayal of the lorry driver and his environment, Prunella Clough invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of modern life and to reflect on the individuals who keep our cities running behind the scenes.
