'Throwing the Floor'
Lisa Brice at Goodman GalleryGoodman Gallery Cape presents an exhibition of new paintings by Lisa Brice, produced over the course of the last two years in London and featured in Vitamin P2, Phaidon's recently published anthology of painting. The paintings explore the possibilities and properties of vivid colour, how it is optically perceived, and the effects of the afterimage created by red-green vision in particular.
In her text on Brice's work in Vitamin P2, Coline Millard notes: 'Just as [Brice's] painting hovers between figuration and abstraction, her figures occupy the limbo between the living and the dead. Brice's work is all liminality.' While the liminality referred to by Millard in the Trinidad works of 2009 alludes to an inherent mysticism, the sense of liminality in this new body of paintings shifts to suggest a state of disorientation, delirium and suspended time through a heightened use of colour and reduced form.
'Throwing the Floor' is Brice's first solo exhibition in Cape Town since 2007.
10 March - 14 April
