Lisa Brice, who divides her time between London and Trinidad, paints and draws women, often naked and absorbed in everyday activities. Steeped in art history, Brice's work subverts that same history it references by focusing on women liberated from the roles of model and muse. Here, they are shown interchangeably brandishing paint brushes, as they capture their own likenesses (and that of their companions), or at rest, posing in front of mirrors and lounging against doors as they smoke cigarettes, breaking down hierarchies between the artist and the model.
