Lisa Brice presents an intimate rendering of a single female figure and a cat for her limited edition print with Turner Contemporary
4 December 2023
For her edition with Turner Contemporary and produced by Counter Editions, Lisa Brice presents 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.
Through her practice, Brice reclaims the female nude from the disempowering male gaze that has historically rendered women as passive objects of desire. Her 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.
The print is made available for public sale from Monday 4 December 2023.
