ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Kearsey & Gold, London
June - December 2025
During a six month residency leading up to the exhbition Unstable Grounds with Kearsey & Gold at the historic
19 Cork St. location in Mayfair, London, Lombardi has developed a process that incorporates digital manipulations into the painting process.
He begins with a background of gestural mark making and passages of colour; this background is digitised and
manipulated to create a series of layers that serve as the framework for the midground and foreground.
A deliberate painterliness underlies the digitally manipulated forms that reminds us that within
the interconnectivity, integration of AI and distortion of information we are still human -albeit in a faster and more fraught world.

My residency at Kearsey & Gold has come to close. I feel blessed for the opportunity to have worked in the studio above the gallery on Cork Street for 6 months.
Thank you to the team at Kearsey & Gold - Lucas, Adam, and Umberto for your generosity of mind and spirit.
Spending these months painting above the gallery has influenced me and my work in ways I may not understand for years to come -
the energy of this studio will stay me forever.
