About the Artist

London-based artist ‘Lil Shlurp’ specialises in painting at the intersection of portraiture, abstraction and photorealism in order to capture the character and music of celebrated musicians.

Self-taught - she started to pursue painting during the 2020 lockdown in an attempt to express their appreciation for both music and artwork.

‘A relentless adoration for music is ultimately what inspires my creative process, and I am extremely passionate about celebrating such musicality in art form, supplemented by inspiration sourced from all aspects of life.

When I'm creating my artwork I have no boundaries or predetermined ideas in my headspace. I allow for it to be completely free flowing and my art is just a journey of reflections, thoughts and ideas I am having at that particular moment. Perhaps it's something I watched that day, or a song I listened to, or I like the colours of the sky outside my window. Ultimately the reason why my artwork looks like a lifetime of weird and wonderful happenings exploding onto a canvas, is because it is precisely that’.

Lilshlurp was selected as one of the Royal Society of British Artist’s Top 40 Rising Stars in 2023 and has been commissioned by award winning artists including MOBO winning Kojey Radical and double time BAFTA winner Big Zuu.
