'self-portrait' . 2003 . by gee vaucher |

despite her much sought after work as an illustrator and later as a painter, gee vaucher is perhaps best known for the extensive body of work she created during the late seventies and early eighties. quite apart from her now famous collages, as designer with the renowned punk band 'crass', she concentrated her highly developed painting skills on 'photorealism', creating some of the most disturbing and acclaimed images of the time. her work is generally accepted as having been seminal to the iconography of the 'punk generation'.
when 'crass' disbanded in 1984, vaucher felt the need to explore
other areas of work, abandoning the tightness of her more 'overt' political statements in favour of a more loosely expressed personal politic.
most of her work since then has in some way been connected with the human form, intimately exploring the psychological diversities of social inter-relationships. she has been exhibited extensively both solo and in group shows throughtout the world.
