Sarah Lucas — Supersensible
Sarah Lucas

Supersensible

1994

A raw and irreverent assemblage of acrylic paint and torn newspaper fragments layered onto cardboard, this work embodies Sarah Lucas's signature blend of wit and provocation. The humble, everyday materials challenge conventional notions of artistic value and refinement, while the collision of text, image, and gesture creates a charged visual tension. Lucas transforms discarded media into a site of sardonic commentary on identity, the body, and cultural consumption.
