Lee Price



Lee Price's photo-realistic oil paintings of women eating food, often self-portraits, are fantastic. I love the perspective she uses, it feels like a complete invasion of the subject''s privacy, like I'm spying on this woman gorging herself. Sometimes she's sad, sometimes she feels vulnerable, sometimes she appears relaxed and comforted. The artist's use of junk foods is awesome to me, too. The feminist me likes that the artist is a woman, painting women. I like everything about these.
