The Artist

Lawrence Carroll is a Submit to Love artist and a Headway East London member since 2008. Prior to his brain injury Lawrence worked as an engineer, police officer and parachuter in the territorial army, until he had an accident on duty. In the studio Lawrence works with the support of his carer Rosa. At times, Lawrence will sit with his eyes closed, too fatigued to draw. At others he will work in energetic, intense bursts with the sound of his pencil filling the studio as it loops and scribbles. Lawrence rarely uses speech and communicates mostly through eye blinks. He has restricted movement in his hands, so Rosa supports his elbow while he draws, and helps him choose his favourite colours.

Exhibitions:

2023, Differently Various, Barbican, London

2024, Differently Various In Different Spaces, Westminster City Hall, London
