Creageivity 35 - with Sculptor Lucianne Lassalle

Sculptor, painter and vocalist LUCIANNE LASSALLE comes from a long line of artists. Her grandfather, Henry Valensi was founder of the Musicalisme movement in Paris and - as we hear in this podcast - showed Walt Disney his work which the American then ‘borrowed’ for the movie Fantasia. Lucianne’s grandmother was a painter who raised her children on a remote French island, while her aunt was a muse to Picasso. Parents Mélinda and Léonard were a potter and painter respectively. Little wonder with this rich heritage that Lucianne is so dedicated to pursuing her own art!Her bronze and ceramic sculptures are classically figurative, echoing Bernini and Michelangelo, with a verve and contemporary dynamic, and can be found in public and private collections around the world. “Lucianne is one of the best figurative sculptors in the UK,” says the Chair of the National Galleries of Scotland. “Lucianne bridges the gap between hip-hop and Michelangelo,” says writer Howard Male. She was born in Paris, and now lives and works in Bristol, England. Her enthusiasm and creative joy are abundant in this episode of Creageivity.Lucianne’s website: www.luciannelassalle.com/facebook.com/lucianne.lassalle.sculpture/Music by Geoff Leigh and Lucianne Lassalle used with permission If you feel you're too old to be creative, or too creative to be old, then Creageivity is the podcast for you!
