Frédérique Lucien
Summary
Frédérique Lucien (born September 28, 1960 in Briançon, France) is a French visual artist, works in drawing, painting and ceramics.
Frédérique Lucien graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1987, where her teacher was Joël Kermarrec. Her work has been developing since the 1990s, and her subject matter has focused on plants, minerals, organics and the human body. She works in series and simultaneously on different themes. She treats the human body mainly with drawing, sculpture and ceramics, and plants with drawing and cut-out paper. Her works are present in numerous public collections in France (Fonds national d'art contemporain), as well as abroad, at the Inter-American Development Bank and Budapest Kiscell Museum, for instance).
She had a residency at the Académie de France in Rome during the 1991-1992 season.
Frédérique Lucien's first solo exhibition took place in 1990 at the Galerie Jean Fournier in Paris. She regularly worked with editors Éric Seydoux and Michael Woolworth.
A retrospective exhibition of her printed work took place at the Gravelines museum in 2002. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Zadkine Museum in Paris, the Museum of Fine Arts in Brest, Caen and Vannes exhibited a retrospective of the artist's work.
Frédérique Lucien was listed in the Universal Dictionary of Creators in 2013.
Describing her own work, she states, "Une feuille est une feuille, une bouche est une bouche, mais l'arbre ou la personne à laquelle elles appartiennent font qu'elles sont forcément dissemblables, qu'elles ont chacune une "personnalité" propre. C'est cette spécificité que je m'efforce de montrer." A leaf is a leaf, a mouth is a mouth, but the tree or the person to which they belong means that they are necessarily dissimilar, that they each have their own "personality". It is this specificity that I strive to show.
