‘Images of The Australian Ballet’ features over 25 artworks including Luccio’s award-winning monotypes along with oil paintings and a series of drypoints and etchings inspired by her time with the company.
Luccio’s monotypes are created with great physicality, rolling layers of coloured etching ink onto a copper sheet then wiping them back to sculpt the powerful figures before printing. The etchings and drypoints inspired by The Australian Ballet dancers come directly from Luccio’s drawings. Spontaneous and energetic lines capture movement and intensity whilst other works capture gentle lines of the dancers in repose.
