I am drawn to the ambiguity that people and places can hold. Sometimes the compositions of my paintings feel like cinematic outtakes: the moments between directed actions, when the figures are 'on their own time,' self-involved, performing only for themselves or one another. — Lisa Brice, 2018 for Salon 94

BRICE, LISA (Sudáfrica, 1968)

Es una artista visual que se dedica a la pintura. Actualmente vive en Londres y presenta temas que le afectaron en su infancia y crecimiento en Cape Town en un momento de revuelta y cambio político.

 A pesar de haber trabajado múltiples ramas artísticas, se ha dedicado principalmente a la pintura en los últimos años, y es esta rama en la que ha conseguido el reconocimiento actual.  Trabaja principalmente con óleo sobre lienzo. Son obras que presentan un uso del color muy característico, utilizando una paleta que se centra en dos o tres colores muy contrastados principalmente y utilizando otros tonos para pequeños detalles o utilizando un solo tono para crear así una composición monocromática.

Destaca su exposición en la Tate Gallery.

Brice's work depicts women, either alone or in groups, chatting, making themselves up, getting dressed, undressing or escaping the heat of the sun for a beer or a cigarette. She captures these women in moments of downtime, engaged in a private world, performing everyday rituals. In so doing, Brice reverses the traditional portrayal of passive female figures by male artists for male viewers and returns power to the women involved.Brice's heroines are sometimes introspective, yet are never passive. They appear to display themselves on their own terms and for their own pleasure, forcing the viewer to confront their status as an intruder rather than a benign voyeur. Formal devices such as mirrors and windows contribute to the compelling sense of depth and space. The women's poses often nod to art historical sources, as the work of Degas, Manet, Picasso and Vallotton. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lisa Brice Boundary Girl (Natalie)  2009-2017 Oil on archival paper 222.3 x 130.4 cm  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lisabrice (at Tate Britain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx6ZfftFWyu/?igshid=t7fpi1z419ly

Lisa Brice - "As a figurative painter it is significant that historical figuration seems invariably created by white men for an audience of predominantly white men. Sometimes the simple act of repainting an image of a woman previously painted by a man – re-authoring the work as by a woman – can be a potent shift in itself. Inserting props such as cigarettes or bottles of alcohol (as seen in Edouard Manet and Félix Vallotton’s paintings), or using strong colour to tweak the slant of eyes or mouth can further transform the figures from objectified to quietly self-possessed, matter-of-fact or provocative subjects." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lisa Brice Untitled lii, (Well Worn 5) 2015 Ink on printed cotton 126.5 x 96cm ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lisabrice (at Goodman Gallery, Rosebank) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx40b0blb_i/?igshid=12ujfesrrt3sb
