About
Why this artist matters now
Lisa Brice makes figurative paintings rooted in the politics of looking, particularly the representation of women and the gendered dynamics of spectatorship. Born in Cape Town and based in London, her work is informed by her upbringing in South Africa during apartheid and extended periods living in Trinidad, both of which inflect the social and bodily tensions her figures inhabit. Working primarily in a spare, chalky blue monochrome, she depicts women in poses borrowed from art history and popular imagery, redirecting the gaze rather than submitting to it. Her paintings have been exhibited at Tate Britain.
