Lucy Teasdale is a British-German sculptor living and working in Berlin. Her works initially follow the classical tradition of modelled figures and alienate them through the contemporary gaze. Relevant aspects are often absurdity, pomposity and humour.
She is represented by Galerie Born Berlin and Galerie Mikael Andersen, Copenhagen
