ART lovers in West London are set to be electrified by Lucie Bennett's next solo show RAUNCH', which celebrates spring with a brand-new exhibition glorifying the female form and sexuality, showing at the Caspar Dunstan Gallery in Shepherds Bush on Thursday March 25 from 6.30-9pm.

The exhibition hopes to readdress controversial issues surrounding the female body and acquaint the artist with a new crowd.

The collection, which will be exhibited from March 26 to April 20, consists of 20 pieces in various sizes and depicts Wonderland fantasy worlds and simple graphic line paintings that encapsulate what is both erotic and mysterious about the female. Simple lines, flowery shapes and soft, curvaceous forms are created by using simple household gloss paint on industrial aluminium panels, producing a mirrored surface for a sleek, minimalist and seductive effect.

"I am fascinated by the primal nature of female sexuality", says Lucie.

"This is reflected in the mythological and fantastical imagery that I use. My art proposes a different approach to what the female body represents for those who are willing to see it."

Elspeth Moncrieff for The Art Newspaper writes of Lucie's work: "Bunny girls are traditionally compliant sexy little things but these ones crouch in combat position sporting automatic weapons and wearing high heeled boots and little else."

Meanwhile, the gallery owner Caspar Dunstan looks forward to opening this long awaited and much inspiring exhibition, which promises to "titillate and inspire".
