South-African born, London-based artist Lisa Brice likes painting because it’s uncertain. “Uncertainty is central to painting, and [its] strength, and that’s very much what attracted me back to the medium, ultimately,” she has said. Half-formed figures in unnatural hues populate her dreamlike compositions, to haunting effect—as in this 2019 work in which a fragmented woman engages in a face off with her azure reflection. Inspiration for staring down the Monday blues.
