== Works == 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, and has expressed her strong [[anarcho-pacifist]] and [[feminist]] views in her paintings and [[collage]]s.<ref name="Berger" /> Vaucher also uses [[surrealist]] styles and methods. She continues to design sleeves for [[Babel Label]], and also designed the sleeve for [[The Charlatans (English band)|The Charlatans]]' ''[[Who We Touch]]'' album.<ref>{{cite web|title=Charlatans, The - Who We Touch|url=http://www.discogs.com/Charlatans-Who-We-Touch/release/2486571|website=Discogs|date=6 September 2010 |publisher=Discogs.com}}</ref> Vaucher has exhibited at the 96 Gillespie gallery in London. In 2007 and 2008 the Jack Hanley Gallery in [[San Francisco]] and Track 16 in [[Santa Monica]] ran exhibitions entitled "Gee Vaucher: Introspective", showing a wide selection of Vaucher's work. The day after [[Donald Trump]]'s election victory in November 2016, the British [[Daily Mirror]] newspaper featured Vaucher's 1989 painting ''Oh America'' on its front page.<ref name="NME">{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/trump-cover-daily-mirror-1841226|title=The Daily Mirror's Trump Front Page Has Strong Punk Roots|last=Daly|first=Rhian|date=10 November 2016|publisher=NME|access-date=23 December 2016}}</ref><ref name="DMirror">{{cite web|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/gee-vauchers-artwork-oh-america-9231864|title=Gee Vaucher's artwork 'Oh America' and the story behind the Daily Mirror's historic US election front page|last=Allen|first=Gavin|date=10 November 2016|publisher=Daily Mirror|access-date=23 December 2016}}</ref> === Published collections === In the foreword to her first book, a 1999 retrospective collection entitled ''Crass Art and Other Pre Post-Modernist Monsters'', [[Ian Dury]] writes: {{blockquote|"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 its 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."}} In her second book, ''Animal Rites: a pictorial study of relationships'', she gives a commentary on the relationship between animals and humans, centered on the quote "[[Animal Farm|All humans are animals, but some animals are more human than others]]." === Film === Vaucher's film ''Gower Boy'', made in collaboration with pianist [[Huw Warren]], debuted at the 14th [[Raindance Film Festival]] in London in October 2006.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.raindancefilmfestival.org/festival/programme/features/gowerboy.htm |title=Gower Boy |publisher=Raindance |website=Fourteenth Raindance Film Festival |date=1 October 2006 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061114225430/http://www.raindancefilmfestival.org/festival/programme/features/gowerboy.htm |archive-date=14 November 2006 }}</ref>
