Portrait of Lucie Bennett by Angie Davey
Lucie Bennett explores female identity and sexuality using simple, elegantly applied lines and block colour forms to create distinctive, timeless pieces.
Best known for her provocative portraits of women, London-based British artist Lucie Bennett explores female identity and sexuality using simple, elegantly applied lines and block colour forms to create distinctive, timeless pieces.
Captivating from the onset, colour plays a major part in Bennett’s work By applying a carefully selected palette she creates an identity for her subjects, with bright hot pinks, and playful hues of orange and blue.. Throughout history, the female form has been both celebrated and objectified in art, advertising and the media. Bennett plays with our perception of this by presenting her subjects in the simplest form, encouraging the viewer to identify with the work as they see fit.
In some of her works, Bennett references traditional associations between flora and femininity, and approaches this with her own contemporary take. The artist uses striking colour combinations and graphic shapes, and industrial materials such as aluminium and gloss paint to create something fluid and sensual There is a curious juxtaposition between the metal canvas and the languid forms of the female body
Having worked across many different mediums including neon, collage and laser-cut acrylic, Bennett began as, and is still perhaps first and foremost, a painter whose preferred medium is gloss paint on prepared aluminium. Her first original screen prints were released in 2005 and since then she has built up a substantial body of widely collected limited editioned works.
