About the Artist

Sarah Lucas is a seminal British artist and a key figure in the Young British Artists movement, celebrated for her fearless and often confrontational exploration of gender, sexuality, and the human condition. Her distinctive sculptural practice frequently employs commonplace objects—such as tights, furniture, and cigarettes—to create raw, visceral, and often humorous representations of the body and its desires. Lucas’s work subverts patriarchal norms and societal expectations with a potent blend of wit and aggression. Her art directly challenges taboos, inviting viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about identity, vulnerability, and the commodification of the female form with an uncompromising honesty.
