Colour Intense. We Love Lucie Bennett
June 30, 2012 in We Love
We love the work of Lucie Bennett. Here’s a little about her…
“Bennett explores female sexuality and identity in her work. In her latest series, the body appears to be in the process of transformation or symbiosis, increasingly becoming part of a landscape or amorphous jungle. Her imagery explores the striking similarities between the anatomical and botanical.
Bennett references the traditional view of the female being close to nature, yet with a contemporary take; she uses industrial materials – aluminium and gloss paint – to create something fluid and sensual, exploring the juxtaposition of metal and paint, and the languid forms of the female body.
Bennett has exhibited in London, New York, San Francisco and Miami and has work in a number of permanent collections including the Groucho Club, London and Virgin Group. Her work has been featured in a number of BBC television programmes and a feature film. She has donated work to the Terrence Higgins Trust, Paintings In Hospitals, NHS Healing in the Environment and the British Red Cross among others. Bennett lives and works in London.”

I also love Lucie Bennett’s stunning imagery. It makes me look twice then have a AH Huh after I see or interpret. That for me is how art should be. Playful, imaginative and of course full of color. In my art I prefer unrealism just because there is too much reality already. Really dig your work. Bravo. Good luck Lucie.
