Bio Theresa Lucey is a twenty-seven year old fine artist working in Orlando, Florida. Her primary practice is the creation of original paintings in the genre of figurative realism. She is pursuing a career as a full-time painter and draftswoman. Possessing a disciplined eye and an understanding of anatomical complexity, Theresa recognizes the intellectual vigor of figurative art. She delves deeply into self portraiture in particular. Through the act of self portraiture she synthesis her interests in the performance of gender, dramatic physical expression and classical operatic works. Representing the relationship between the material and unknown Theresa reveals the temporary nature of selfdom as a seldom talked about phenomenon, deserving of reflection and intercommunication. Her works bare society's evolving potentiality of gender, mirrored in individual understandings of self. The body houses so many variations of self, culminating in eventual nothingness. Theresa is cultivating a gender inclusive feminist voice based upon these observations. She indulges in obsessive introspection, and questions perceptions of the body tied to gender politics and mental health. While she develops the financial reward of her studio practice Theresa teaches fundamental and anatomical drawing as an instructor of record. She is currently pursuing her Masters in Fine Arts at the University of Central Florida. She is expected to graduate in April of 2019. Theresa was selected as a recipient of the University of Central Florida’s MFA Provost's Graduate Fellowship. She is an active local exhibitor, frequently showing at City Arts Factory, Avalon Gallery and several independent locations. She is determined to broaden her visibility and experience as a young, up and coming artist. https://www.theresalucey.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-02-21 https://www.theresalucey.com/about-2 daily 0.75 2019-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6eba8d9b7d1576e5699593/1550774410523-X3C1E6MTWY9UMH9NQWLG/12801218_10209286216459355_2434428873483312378_n.jpg About https://www.theresalucey.com/new-page daily 0.75 2019-02-21 https://www.theresalucey.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2019-02-22 https://www.theresalucey.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2019-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6eba8d9b7d1576e5699593/1550802451413-62UAE102X2R7682KYUF7/1.+Theresa+Lucey+dogs+can%27t+eat+chocolate.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6eba8d9b7d1576e5699593/1550797887656-8PZ0J7MCX6LZGAOH81MM/watercolor1.png Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6eba8d9b7d1576e5699593/1550797906166-KU3PR6LZNSZEK64NULR6/Pastel+and+Acrylic.png Portfolio https://www.theresalucey.com/pagecv-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-02 https://www.theresalucey.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6eba8d9b7d1576e5699593/e85ceb5b-6f96-4cda-ba36-6c2bb872b0a9/TheresaLucey-HS-6.jpg about - words from the artist My work is a response to living—a way to process consciousness and probe the inner lives of myself and others. I begin intuitively, channeling the subconscious through abstract forms, allowing imagery to surface organically. From this starting point, I draw representational figures out of abstraction, grounding them in familiar anatomy while subtly distorting or reshaping it to suggest movement or transformation. My current body of work consists of mixed media drawings in colored pencil and gouache. These materials allow for a layered process that mirrors the emotional and psychological layers I explore. Themes of nature, vulnerability, and the quiet complexities of human existence guide my practice. While the meaning behind each piece often becomes clear to me far after its completion, viewers frequently note a dark, mystical quality—sometimes tinged with a wry, unsettling humor. I embrace this tension, seeking to depict an inner world that is both exposed and enigmatic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c6eba8d9b7d1576e5699593/a0a7ed3f-19e4-4fd1-b3b9-d42f924ccd59/Caryatid+I.jpg about - Publication from Solo Exhibition at Anita S. Wooten Gallery, Curated by Carlye Frank What does it mean to look at a painting? At a body? Much has been made of the role of the gaze in art- in its production, and in the experience of looking at it. Theresa Lucey offers us a gaze that is unflinching. Her figures- largely female, nude or nearly so- present themselves to us as variously coiled in tension, literally pressed down by the weight of domestic objects. A pair of lovers lock in an embrace of knotted limbs. These paintings are distinctly uncomfortable, even when the figures seem to be at rest. In fact, the figures seem most natural when they are slumped in exhaustion. These figures, when they return our gaze, do as an act of accusation, implicating the viewer as an agent in their exhaustion. Lucey exploits the acidic, bleaching effects of refracted digital blue light. The way we look at each other, mediated by screens, becomes the way we look at ourselves, and are looked at by others. That which can be looked at also looks back at us. Lucey forces us to a reckoning with the gazing object. We are simultaneously its consuming voyeur, and the subject of its voyeuristic gaze. -Carlye Frank January, 2020 https://www.theresalucey.com/contact-2 daily 0.75 2019-11-13
