Village People

Haus of Lucy is a satirical mastermind who sources unsung pieces art and transforms them with amusing subtle details. In doing so, she not only raises a smile, but invites us to consider the society we live in and to question the true character of art in the twenty-first century.

In this piece, the artist appropriates a found painting of a procession and adds rainbow motifs and signage to transform the parade into a raucous Pride celebration.

"The villagers were so excited! They had been planning their Pride Parade for months and had managed to secure one of S Club (no one knew which one, but they hoped it wasn't Paul) to perform on the day. Lord Wellington couldn't wait to get to the party; he'd had his eye on the local blacksmith for years and he had a feeling tonight could be the night. But first, where WAS that woman selling rainbow candy floss?" Haus of Lucy
