View in a Room

// Forces by Lisa Yuskavage is a haunting lithograph from 2007, produced in a limited edition of 46. This monochromatic piece depicts two intertwined female figures, enveloped in an ambiguous, dreamlike landscape filled with geometric, block-like forms. Yuskavage's signature style often blends sensuality with surrealism, and this work is no exception. The figures, rendered in soft, atmospheric shading, convey a sense of vulnerability and intimacy, their expressions contemplative and somber. The surrounding structures suggest a world that is both constructed and fragmented, echoing themes of emotional complexity and inner turmoil. Forces is a poignant exploration of connection, isolation, and the enigmatic spaces within human relationships.

Lisa Yuskavage (USA, 1962) is a painter renowned for her provocative figurative works blending surrealism, eroticism, and vibrant color. Her compositions often feature exaggerated, otherworldly female forms set in dreamlike landscapes, challenging traditional depictions of femininity. Yuskavage’s distinctive style bridges fine art and pop culture, making her a key figure in contemporary art.

I think great art goes beyond the control of the artist.
- Lisa Yuskavage

Lisa Yuskavage is a Contemporary artist that combines psychology and pop culture into a reflection of current societal issues. She is particularly good at making use of the psychology surrounding color and its associations. Yuskavage procured her Master of Fine Arts degree from the Yale School of Art, and is most widely known for her sexualized, often wildly unrealistic paintings of women. These paintings make a rather dramatic statement about the physical expectations of women that have been set upon them by men and society as a whole. These figures, in addition to being physically impossible in their shape, are often set in surreal or dream-like environments, emphasizing the ridiculousness of these expectations. In recent years, Lisa Yuskavage has begun to expand the horizons of her work to include the male figure. She makes use of both modern and classical techniques in her paintings, and also creates drawings that explore the same themes as her paintings. (Artist website)
