Lisa Brice — Nude
Lisa Brice

Nude

1992

Lisa Brice's "Nude" combines charcoal and watercolour on paper to create a gestural exploration of the human form that emphasizes expressive mark making over descriptive detail. The work exemplifies her characteristic approach of layering media to build tension between figurative suggestion and abstract gesture, allowing the figure to emerge through energetic line work and fluid colour. Brice's practice engages with the history of figurative painting while asserting a contemporary sensibility that prioritizes process and emotional resonance.
