Gee Vaucher (born in 1945 in england) is one of the people who defined the protest art of the punk movement from the 1970s & 1980s. She made all the vinyl covers for the anarchist band Crass, among others… She also made her debut with the collectives EXIT as well as the Dial House in Essex→ like so many other epicentres of her original radical creativity…
• GEE VAUCHER participated in few exhibitions here & there and published few graphic & written printed editions → mainly through her autonomous structure Exitstencil Press (in the company of his comrade in struggle Penny Rimbaud).
More recently her work was recognized the day after Donald Trump’s election victory in 2016, when the front page of the Daily Mirror published her 1989 painting “Oh America” { This same painting will be also on the cover of the third part of my serie DONT WORRY BE ANGRRY }…
• The unique position she occupies (linking avant∼garde arghtistic movements > counterculture > punk movement > even contemporary street art), while rejecting all “isms”, offers a unique echo on the history of feminist, pacifist & anarchist art…
