SOHO REVUE

Spotlight : Layla Andrews

Layla Andrews (b. 1997) is a British artist based in Margate, England. Her paintings explore the complexities of the human condition- how we navigate, endure, and make sense of the world. Rooted in emotional experience, her work reflects the duality of our fragility and resilience.
Andrews studied History, Literature, and Culture. She is interested in how storytelling weaves through intergenerational and personal narratives, with her paintings drawing on the layered nature of recollection. Figures, domestic settings and recurring symbols become vessels for tracing configurations of identity, memory and dreams. Moving between the familiar and the surreal, her work considers the tension between escapism and remembering.

Layla Andrews, Gala Hills and Constanza Pulit

United by storytelling of personal and folkloric histories, Soho Revue presents works by Layla Andrews and Gala Hills, alongside bronze sculptures by Constanza Pulit. 

All three artists; Pulit, Andrews and Gala use animals as figurative symbols with which to come closer to the understanding of our human psychology and the stories we share with one another. Where Gala uses animal-human mythology and takes inspiration from texts such as Ovid’s Metamorphosis, Layla utilises animals as signifiers as place and of her roots in Saint Helena, whilst Pulit draws on Latin American magical realism. All three artists seek to dissolve their individual understanding of the hierarchies between human and non-human, instead proposing a reality where lines are blurred and interconnected.
