Lucky DeBellevue considers his work, among other things,as high art filtered through a working class lens. Though not overtly political, there is a commentary involved in the do-it-yourself approach and his use of nontraditional art materials that one might
find in craft or hardware stores, items which generally lend themselves to linear and repetitive ways of building. These materials are often suggestive of their function, but not bound by it, and in doing so, create amusement and wonder.

Recent use of more intense colors and metallic give some of the sculpture an amusing, fay/fey, glam quality. Sometimes this is convoluted by the inclusion of a crutch, walker, or piece of furniture for the infirmed, unapologetically adding illness, aging, and deformity to the mix.Many of Lucky DeBellevue’s sculptural objects are built out of chenille stems (aka pipe cleaners) using a free form personal system of weaving, which has its own logic. The result is something that exists somewhere between painting, drawing, and sculpture.
