Lucy Bryant is a British multi-media creator who produces work under the professional moniker Haus of Lucy. Based in Brighton, England, she has gained recognition for her distinctive approach to bricolage and satirical art. Her creative process often involves the reappropriation of found objects, specifically vintage porcelain ornaments and traditional landscape paintings sourced from charity shops and antique fairs. By adding humorous or anachronistic details to these unloved items, she disrupts the ordinary and forces a dialogue between classical aesthetics and modern culture.

A significant portion of her portfolio features porcelain figurines that have been modified with polymer clay and ceramic paint. These pieces often showcase a sharp contrast between refined Regency-era figures and urban elements, such as a formal lady carrying a bag of dog waste or a young boy wearing a branded hoodie. Similarly, her print series overlays pastoral oil scenes with unexpected icons of consumerism, including commercial airliners or modern oil tankers. Beyond her studio work, she has engaged in high-profile collaborations with major brands like Adidas and Footlocker, and her art has been collected by notable public figures such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Alan Carr. Her solo exhibitions, such as Ghost Town, utilize these satirical methods to explore social themes like the decline of the traditional high street and the impact of corporate homogenization on local communities.
