Abstract Portraiture

JUXTAPOSITION

Lucy McRae

SET ON CHALLENGING THE LIMITS OF THE BODY, LUCY MANIPULATES THE BODY’S NATURAL STRUCTURE INVENTING NOVEL ANATOMICAL FORMS IMBUED WITH A HAUNTING VISCERAL REALISM THAT HAS BECOME HER CREATIVE INSIGNIA.

Each of her projects inhabits an artistic realm that draws heavily from readings and erudition in science, sculpture, digital technologies, architecture and fashion, informed by the fringes and extremes of our culture.

Body Adornment:

Body adornment is the embellishment of the human body with temporary or permanent features. It includes putting tattoos and art, branding it, piercing, painting or accessorising it. Body adornment began a long time ago and still prevails in many nations and tribes.
