Lucia Bru

Lucia Bru's work bears the traces of time, meticulously spent with the art works. She spends it in continuous experimentation, developing a form and returning to it, patiently, allowing it to take its place, giving it its due scale, its colour, its matte-ness or brilliance. She takes care of every detail, without haste or agitation, following its evolution through its successive stages. Nothing is left to chance, at the same time she never banishes the effects that chance introduces.

Proceeding by successive touches, in an accumulation of tiny gestures and gentle displacements, the artist constructs and unfolds ensembles. They are neither series nor unique pieces, but rather communities of which every element differs but nevertheless participates as a member of the same group, with a common DNA… This familiarity is also found in the materials used and in the geometry of the pieces. She claims an emphatic simplicity, where the proximity of the real stands in service of the stubbornness of an aesthetic practice.
