Lisa Brice (South African 1968 -) JAMES enamel on canvas laid down on board Accompanied by Lisa Brice by Frank Hanel Gallery catalogue, signed by the artist Lisa Brice, National Book Printers, Cape Town, 1998, illustrated on p40 80 by 80cm Lisa Brice created James in 1990 as part of her Healing body of work produced between 1989 - 1990. The artist was involved in a car accident in 1989 in which a close friend lost her life. It was the artist’s first experience of death in such a violent manner. The traumatic experience caused Brice to create work with an obsessive vigour. Externalising the experience into physical artwork as a means of communicating her ordeal to those close to her and bridging a gap that she believed the incident had caused, resulted in a catharsis for the artist.Brice created a few works for the Healing series in the same square format as James, created with the same materials of enamel on wood. The artist usually scratches the subjects' names into the boards, but the name James is not included in this composition, although it features in the title. James is a colourful piece featuring many of the red hues that the artist favoured during this period of her production, but the subject of the work does not appear to be experiencing pain as her other subjects. The composition consists of a reclining male nude propping himself up his on his elbow. His other arm is stretched above his body with his hands spread wide open, either to welcome the viewer or as a gesture of confrontation. - S.DLisa Brice, National Book Printers, Cape Town, 1998
