The Hepworth Wakefield are delighted to release this printed edition of our Lisa Brice acquisition Untitled, 2019.
Brice explores portraiture and its intersection with the history of women in visual culture. Transcribing her figures from initial photographs into the vivid hue of blue paint that has become characteristic in her work, she uses this repeated motif to confront the ongoing issue of women’s objectification in the media. This work is based on a photograph of the proto-feminist icon and surrealist painter Frida Kahlo smoking a cigarette. Interested in how female artists have been depicted and have depicted themselves, Brice has said ‘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.’
Brice has collaborated on this edition with The Hepworth Wakefield. All funds raised through the sale of the edition allow us to present ambitious and captivating exhibitions, care for our growing art collection and new garden, and deliver a programme of engaging learning activities that enhances lives.
As is traditional in edition publishing, the price of the work will increase as the edition sells out.

Lisa Brice (born 1968) is a South African painter and visual artist from Cape Town. She lives in London and cites some of her influences as her experiences growing up in South Africa during a time of political upheaval, and from time spent living and working in Trinidad.
Brice studied at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in Cape Town. In 1998, after a residency at Gasworks, she settled in London, where she still lives and works.
Over the past 20 years she has spent extended periods working in Trinidad, following a workshop in Grande Riviere in 1998, and a residency in Port of Spain the following year with artists Peter Doig, Chris Ofili and Andy Miller. During this time, friendships and working relationships were formed with Trinidadian artists such as Adele Todd, Che Lovelace and Emheyo Bahabba aka Embah (1937- 2015), who was particularly influential.
Her work has recently been shown at ‘Making and Unmaking’ curated by Duro Olowu at Camden Art Centre in London (2016), Salon 94 in New York (2017), Stephen Friedman Gallery in London (2017 and 2019), Tate Britain in London (2018) and Hepworth Wakefield (2020).
