λ † LUCY MCKENZIE & BECA LISPCOMBE (ATELIER E.B); 'CIPOLINO-HYRO' SCREEN, 2013

λ† LUCY MCKENZIE & BECA LISPCOMBE (ATELIER E.B)'CIPOLINO-HYRO' SCREEN, 2013Double-sided folded screen in six panels; one side with mirror panel and silkscreen on velvet mounted on wood, oil on canvas mounted on wood, steel frame184cm x 390 cm (72½in x 153½in)'Textile designer Beca Lipscombe and the visual artist Lucy McKenzie run their independent fashion label, Atelier E.B, whose initials stand for their respective locales: Edinburgh and Brussels. The pair created their first paravent - they favour the French term for a folding screen, with its seaside insinuation of protection from bluster - in 2011 for their debut collection, which they called 'The Inventors of Tradition'. It was a sumptuous mix of intarsia knit jumpers, artists' work coats, lavishly ribbed cashmere skirts and Aran sweaters, all made to order in mills in the Scottish Borders and rust belt.' Paravent I which had Lucy's brushwork of the Clydebank skyline with the Singer sewing machine factory on one side; and Beca's prints of a tiled Glasgow close on the other, was sold through Lucy's London gallery 'Cabinet' for £25,000. Ten paravents have since been created. ~ The Gentlewoman, No. 25, Spring/Summer 2022 Our paravents-all of which have one side screen-printed by Beca and the other painted by me-are art-design hybrids and an expression of the individualism we maintain in our partnership. There is space within the collaboration for a certain naiveté about the other's field of expertise, with which we can give one another fresh perspectives. The paravents symbolise that we are a unit, standing back to back, looking in different directions. The notion of the screen mirrors the collaboration, as a space within which we can be both together and autonomous' ~ Lucy McKenzie with Beca Lipscombe, Atelier E.B - Back-to-back, in Atelier E.B Passer-by.
