Lisa Brice: Bar Games (1992 – 2023)
Sadie Coles HQ, Bury Street

2 June – 8 July 2023
www.sadiecoles.com/exhibitions/956-lisa-brice-bar-games-1992-2023/

Visit Sadie Coles HQ on Bury Street and witness the career span of South African artist Lisa Brice. Working shrewd reinterpretations of femininity in both high and low culture, Brice layers and dethrones its art historical and contemporary archetypes in two singular works that span her career.

In response to famed works like Manet’s “A Bar at the Folie Bergère”, the paintings debate the double-edged aura of provocative allure and the traditional views of femininity in the context of the 1990s. The exhibition intends to critique objectified femininity and empowering women, offering a fresh perspective on contemporary and historical womanhood.
