About the artist
Brice is one of the foremost figurative painters who challenges traditional representations of women in Western art history. Through her practice, she reclaims the female nude from the disempowering male gaze that has historically rendered women as passive objects of desire. Brice's work, which includes both individual and group portraits set in studios and bars, liberates women from the confines of being merely models and muses, presenting them in a new light that defies conventional roles. The figures, often depicted in her signature cobalt blue, share their spaces with feline companions, a nod to Édouard Manet’s Olympia (1863) and its enigmatic hissing black cat.
