Lucile Montague is a London-based painter and long-standing member of Barbican Arts Group Trust. BAGT lists her as an artist at Blackhorse Lane Studios, 114a Blackhorse Lane, London E17 6AA, and its store profile states that she joined BAGT in 1977 and currently has a studio at BAGT Blackhorse Lane Studios.
Montague studied at Plymouth College of Art and Byam Shaw School of Art, now part of University of the Arts London. Her practice is rooted in painting and drawing, particularly oil, acrylic and pastel. She describes her large-scale pastels as “paintings on paper,” and characterises the work as narrative, ambiguous and open to the viewer’s interpretation.
Earlier works focused on people, social situations and city life, often using humour, compression and psychological tension to explore how people relate to one another in urban environments. In recent years, Montague’s attention has shifted increasingly towards landscape. BAGT describes these recent paintings as deriving from regular walks in the green areas of North London, combining fantasy and reality within the calming effects of nature.
Across several decades, Montague has exhibited widely in open, group and project exhibitions, including the Royal Academy Summer Show, Whitechapel Open, The Discerning Eye, The Pastel Society, and exhibitions at the Royal Festival Hall, Mostyn Gallery, Mall Galleries, Camden Arts Centre and Royal West of England Academy. Her work has also been included in touring exhibitions concerned with urban life, including The Subjective City and Witnesses and Dreamers.
