'Lisa Brice's paintings are a fiery female gaze' Matthieu Jacquet's review of the main exhibitions in Paris
By Matthieu Jacquet
Au male gaze ayant dominé le nu féminin pendant des siècles, Lisa Brice oppose dans ses toiles un female gaze ardent, montrant des femmes en pleine possession de leur corps dans des tonalités bleu cobalt et rouge ardent. La peintre sud-africaine basée à Londres livre à la galerie Thaddaeus Ropac de nouveaux exemples de son univers onirique, teinté d’érotisme mais jamais scabreux.
Translation:
Against the male gaze that has dominated the female nude for centuries, Lisa Brice's paintings are a fiery female gaze, showing women in full possession of their bodies in shades of cobalt blue and fiery red. At Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, the London-based South African painter presents new examples of her dreamlike world, tinged with eroticism but never scabrous.
