Features and remarks
You are buying a large mixed media work by Lisa Brice from the 1994 solo exhibition 'Plastic makes Perfect' at Galerie Frank Hänel, Frankfurt. It is a unique piece.
In the 1990s, the South African, who loves to experiment, devoted herself increasingly to installation and sculpture. She uses readily available, common household materials such as linoleum, leather, denim or metal.
Here it is plastic dolls, such as those of the famous Barbie, which Brice lines up on a panel, sometimes trimming the ends and mounting them in an object frame behind foil-covered Plexiglas. The repetitive image of the stylized woman as a sex symbol, whose role is already worn by girls as dolls, creates an oppressive feeling of mass far removed from individuality.
"Plastic Makes Perfect" thus artistically skilfully and with red signal colour shows how the ideal of the as sex object is constituted in history and questioned today.
