Can't take my eyes off Bennett's works. She is my favorite artist now!
Lucie Bennett's work presents potent images of women in various guises; as haunting sirens, alluring pin-ups and supernatural nymphets; playing absorbing games with the viewer's preconceptions of these deceptively familiar archetypes.

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.
