Gee Vaucher
, born
Dagenham, East
London,
1945.
''Gee Vaucher (standing) pictured with
Penny_Rimbaud, 2003''
Her work with
Anarcho-punk band
Crass was seminal to the 'protest art' of the
1980s. Vaucher has always seen her work as a tool for social change, in the foreword to her 1999 retrospective collection ''Crass Art And Other Postmodernist Monstrosities''
Ian_Dury writes;
: ''"In its original form, Gee's work is intricate and tactile, and while the imagery is sometimes almost overwhelming, the primary concerns are those of a painter; dealing with form and space. Mere newsprint would hardly do justice to it's subtle tones. When the work is printed, the space becomes more simple and the graphic images take on a different life. The concerns are those of delivery, and the message is clear."''
