SHANNON CARTIER LUCY

With a career of endless experimentation spanning over twenty years, Shannon Cartier Lucy is one of the most celebrated figurative painters working today. Shannon Cartier Lucy was born in 1977, in Nashville, Tennessee, where she currently lives and works.

Raised in an unconventional context with a schizophrenic father, Cartier Lucy paints seemingly ordinary and familiar scenes in a realistic style that also appear alienating for their surreal details, poses and composition.

Cartier Lucy infuses her painting with uncanny and impossible situations that become a new normality in her work. The artist is a cantor of the inner world; her practice can be seen as a mirror of a dystopic society, whether intentional or accidental, reflecting a sociocultural landscape filled with hallucinatory and contradictory information.
