Mira Dancy, "Bodytonic"

The current obsession among young painters for spelunking through the annals of early-20th-century art has become so acute as to almost deserve a name: maybe NeoModern, or N-MoD, for short? (No? Come up with something better then!) Dancy's work certainly fits it, with her fluid takes on the Matissean nude via Kirchner, rendered, naturally, in postfeminist acid pinks and bruisey, blackened blues.
