Turner Contemporary Announces New Limited Edition Print by Lisa Brice
This December, Turner Contemporary launches a limited edition print, Untitled, 2023 by leading artist Lisa Brice, produced with Counter Editions, Margate.
Lisa Brice is one of the foremost figurative painters who challenges traditional representations of women in Western art history. Through her practice, she reclaims the female nude from the disempowering male gaze that has historically rendered women as passive objects of desire. Brice’s work, which includes both individual and group portraits set in studios and bars, liberates women from the confines of being merely models and muses, presenting them in a new light that defies conventional roles. The figures, often depicted in her signature cobalt blue, share their spaces with feline companions, a nod to Édouard Manet’s Olympia (1863) and its enigmatic hissing black cat.
Lisa Brice’s exclusive edition for Turner Contemporary is an intimate rendering of a single female figure and a cat. The feline companion sits perched atop a post, its presence a gentle testament to companionship, alongside the portrait of a woman who gazes out with a serene expression.
