LELOCAT 60 (2020) Sculpture by Leloluce

Lucie Legrand, alias Leloluce, is a contemporary French artist whose vibrant and captivating works have brought joy and light to the global art scene. Leloluce's art exudes a profound vitality and energy, often bordering on the phantasmagorical, yet never venturing into the realm of discomfort. Her work shatters the stereotype of the tormented artist, opting instead to brighten, illuminate, and warm the hearts of those who encounter it.

Her preferred medium for painting is acrylic, which she masterfully employs to infuse her colors with light and vivacity. Additionally, she utilizes resin on canvas to achieve a dazzling and brilliant shine, further enhancing the visual impact of her creations. Her style is a fusion of street art, pop art, and cubism, often experimenting with the deconstruction of faces and forms, leading viewers into a mesmerizing maze of vibrant hues and vitality. Leloluce frequently welcomes iconic figures from our childhood comics and cartoons into her art. Characters like Garfield, Mickey Mouse, and Tweety Bird come to life in her work, set against pop, psychedelic, and stimulating backgrounds.

What sets Leloluce apart is her foray into sculpture, where she seamlessly marries the worlds of pop culture and graffiti with elegance and refinement. Her sculptures, particularly her interpretation of the cat, a recurring talisman in her artistic universe, exemplify this fusion. "Lelocat," as she has named it, is a work of art characterized by its elegant curves, fluid lines, and vibrant colors, meticulously hand-crafted and lacquered with acrylic and resin.

Leloluce's influence in the art world extends far beyond her studio. Her works have graced the walls of prestigious museums, including the Grand Palais, the Louvre, Art Nordic Copenhagen, Espace Paul Ricard in Lyon, and LuExpo the Box in Luxembourg. Her art also finds a permanent home in the collections of Gallery 27 in Dubai, solidifying her status as a prominent figure in international contemporary art, celebrated and admired worldwide.

Recognition for her exceptional work has poured in through numerous awards, underscoring her mastery in the art world. Among these accolades are the Public's Prize at the Art and Design Show in Paris in 2018, the Revelation of the Art Shopping show at the Carrousel du Louvre, her inclusion in the Top 100 International Contemporary Artists, and the coveted gold medal at the Art Show 2021 exhibition in Paris.
