*********BIO*********

Zoe Lacchei grew up in a small town near Rome, kind of a quiet place far from the chaos of the city , where her bashful and introvert character probably comes from and made her an atypical human being.

Being isolated has given her a great abstraction and escapism ability, two characteristics that form the basis of her work as an adult. After high school, rather than attending regular academic courses, she focused on the subjects she loved the most, such as human anatomy and Japanese culture. This last one has affected her enormously: she simply adores Japan, with its contradictions and oddities, with its great sense for the art of image, in a traditional and at the same time modern way, given by Manga, Anime and videogames. If she hadn't come in contact with this world her artistic production would have been very different.

Now she is a popular Italian Artist, known also in USA and Japan.

Eclectic, passionate, Zoe Lacchei has published several works and performed many exhibitions. Her unmistakable style is a fusion of several traditional techniques and materials.

In April 2004 she has realized thirteen paintings for Marilyn Manson's Gold Disc (Golden Age of the Grotesque), collected in the original portfolio: Metamorphosis, the art of Zoe Lacchei.

Her work on Marilyn Manson's visual evolution has crucially marked her artistic career, on a graphic level but also in terms of visibility. A 4-year project that allowed her to free herself from her former working style, an unprecedented opportunity to be "free" to create whatever she wanted to.

Her professional agreement with Marilyn Manson continues up to today: in 2007 she has realized a new painting for the Gold Disk for the new album Eat Me, Drink Me.

In 2007 she has realized nine new paintings for the Geisha Project.

In March 2008 she has exposed with great success the Geisha Project's paintings in the Furore exhibition, in the Dorothy Circus Gallery, in Rome.

From July 2008 to January 2009 some Geisha Project's paintings are exposed in the IO Gallery, Cornwall Bridge CT, USA.

Actually, Geisha Project's limited edition Giclee Prints are available at the Fine Grime Gallery, UK.

Since 2007 she has be owner of a studio-gallery in Rome.


*********GEISHA PROJECT**********

The intent of the "Geisha Project" is to reveal the hidden Geisha's world and to melt it with the recurring themes of Japanese imaginary. The culture of the rising sun people remains anchored to a strong past made of traditions codified in hundredses of years, which do not give the step to a frenetic and technological present. Be a Geisha, living in an eternal shade and rigour world, made of unchanged and immortal gestures, to vote its existence to the art provokes an intense attraction wish, it produces the instinct to show some so impalpable creatures in contact with the darkness which wants to corrupt them.
