Paintings / Artistic Practice

Lorna Robertson creates abstract paintings that explore rhythm, geometry, and colour. Her practice spans personal series, gallery exhibitions, and commissions, bridging fine art and applied creativity.

2025 - Hackney Waterways

The Hackney Waterways series captures the canals, towpaths, and industrial landscapes of East London through abstract compositions. Lorna Robertson explores rhythm, reflection, and geometry, translating the everyday sights of Hackney Wick into vivid, meditative paintings.

2025 - Painting Music Exhibition

Painting Music was an exhibition by Lorna Robertson celebrating five years of D.O.T. Records. The exhibition took place at Arbeit Studios in Hackney Wick, showcasing her work blending geometry, portraiture, and abstraction, much of which has evolved into striking record sleeve designs.

2022 - Old Jet Artist Residency

Lorna Robertson and trumpeter Nick Walters collaborated on a joint residency at the Old Jet in 2022. Lorna worked on the abstract painting series No Words, Only Feelings, exploring the rhythms and textures of Steve Reich’s music. The series reflects their shared interest in translating sound into visual form, blending colour, geometry, and movement.

2021 - Painting for 18 Musicians

Painting for 18 Musicians was inspired by a live performance of Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians (1974–76) at the Southbank Centre in London in 2021. Drawing on this seminal minimalist and phasing work, Lorna explores how colour can express sound, visualising musical time, movement, and rhythm, and creating abstract spaces that invite reflection and spiritual thought.
