Born in Cork, 1968, Sinéad Lucey studied Fine Art (Painting) at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris. After living and working in Paris for 25 years, she moved to Co. Kilkenny in 2016.
Sinéad Lucey approaches the primed painting surface as a space for exploring transitions between planes of lived experience; the observed, the imagined, the factual and the subjective. Themes include landscape, journeys, the human figure and the studio. She is interested the porosity of different modes of perception and in the possibilities of slippage of pictorial elements between them. Various gestural and conceptual strategies are used, assemblage, inversion, erasure, changes of scale, unconventional viewing contexts.
