With her work, the South African-born, London-based artist Lisa Brice aims to subvert the usual passive appearances of nudes in paintings – you know where male artists have hired prostitutes to paint/screw/kill depending on if you’re Egon Schiele/Modgliani/Caravaggio. Instead Brice positions her nudes as powerful, dancing, drinking, or just being natural and without shame.

Powerful and thought-provoking, and on a gut level, just very, very cool.
‘Art NowLisa Brice‘ is at Tate Britain from 26 April – 27 August.
