Artist Details
The works of Lucie Bennett present powerful images of women in different guises; unforgettable sirens, fascinating pin-ups and supernatural nymphettes. Our preconceptions of these deceptively familiar archetypes are constantly challenged by Bennett. The work is modern, graphic and playful while the drawing is beautifully executed, simple but sophisticated.
Bennett's images are sometimes confrontational, directly challenging the viewer. At other times, her women are elusive, oblivious to the viewer's gaze, seemingly existing in an other-worldly space beyond the flawless surface of the paint. Gloss paint on aluminium, Bennett's technique creates a slick, and almost mirrored surface.
As well as being featured several times on BBC2's The Culture Programme, Bennett was featured on BBC2's documentary series The Apprentice, as one of London's up-and-coming artists. Her work was also recently featured in the feature film French Film.
