Lisa Brice

[11] Also in the late 1990s Brice began spending time working and in residence in Port of Spain, Trinidad, where she met and collaborated with other artists such as Peter Doig and Chris Ofili.

[1] After graduating, Brice's first show featured images drawn from Thailand's sex industry signage, which was taken up by the Frank Hanel Gallery in Germany and shown across Europe.

Subsequent early mixed media exhibitions featured themes such as racial tension, violence and crime in South Africa.

The work featured "recast female subjects from art historical paintings, photographs and the media into new environments, imbuing them with a newfound sense of self possession.

[7] Art Now included two new paintings not previously exhibited, one based on John Everett Millais' Ophelia (painting) with Ophelia standing upright holding a cigarette, the other based on Parting at Morning by William Rothenstein with the emaciated model repainted, filled out, also smoking a cigarette.
