Artists in conversation
Cindy Sherman
American · b. 1954
Sherman similarly explores self portraiture and constructed identity through photographic and mixed media techniques, using her own image to interrogate how identity and gender are performed and represented in contemporary art.
Tracey Emin
British · b. 1963
As a close contemporary of Lucas and fellow YBA artist, Emin similarly uses raw autobiographical material and unconventional mixed media collage techniques to create confessional works that explore personal identity with a deliberately unpolished aesthetic.
Hannah Hoch
German · b. 1889
Hoch pioneered photomontage and collage as tools for examining identity, gender, and selfhood, using cut and assembled photographic materials in ways that directly parallel Lucas's technique of collaging reproduced images on paper supports.
