Masked Ball i is a sculpture made from china ornament, acrylic paint, polymer clay by Haus of Lucy. This piece is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. "Everyone had told Mr and Mrs Lucas that moving to the countryside would be terribly, terribly boring and that they would miss the excitement of Highbury. Well, those people hadn't met the Bingleys. Every few months, Lord and Lady Bingley would throw the most extravagant 'Rubber Ball' where the guests were required to don rubber and leather, and always a mask. The Balls were the talk of the county and to receive an invite was a great honour. So imagine the Lucas's joy when their butler appeared with a creamy yellow invitation requiring their presence at the very next Rubber Ball. Who said the countryside was boring?"

Haus of Lucy, formerly known as Lucy Bryant, is a multimedia artist and graphic designer whose work responds to and makes comment upon contemporary culture. Haus of Lucy appropriates classical, antiquated art forms and creates a contrast between old and new, urban and classic.
In appropriating the classical picturesque Eighteenth Century landscape, Lucy paints and subverts expectations by alluding to current social, political and cultural commentaries. A true sense of discord is evident in her prints, but the unexpected anachronisms that deftly find their way into her compositions result in artwork that is saturated in humour. We love the refreshingly comic disruption of the ordinary, juxtaposing the past with the present, making us question if the woman in that portrait really is wearing Beats headphones. Lucy graduated from the University of Derby where she was formally trained in Fine Art, before taking the art world by storm. Lucy worked as a graphic designer for magazines such as Closer and Heat after graduating, before focusing on her art career in 2017 after feeling creatively stifled. Lucy has exhibited in Brighton at the Fringe Festival, in the Paxton Glew gallery and at the London Craft Week. In 2018, Lucy was invited to participate in Bob Osbourne and Carrie Reichardt’s Cash is King project that later was published as a book and exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery.
