Sarah Lucas made known herself by her joinings large size made up of photocopies and cuts of press articles, in which it combines the pinups of the reviews with the headlines of the gutter press. She uses materials without value or which she manufactures itself.
She is often regarded as a feminist artist because she calls into question the image of the woman in her photographs, denounces the sexism of the images of press and challenges with photographs or the sexual identity remains dubious. The representation of the body of the woman is contrary to the traditional representations which show harmonious and glossed forms. Its works in general testify to a certain fascination for violence and this fascination is always sexual according to it, even if it is about one of burst car. The sex is always present either by the titles or by voluntarily grotesque allusions. Through some installations, she criticizes also the claim visual of certain works of art which she turns in derision or which she evokes with a humor of second degree.
