On Challenging The Historic Sexualised Female Nude

London based artist Jemima Sara Hand (b.1997) paints nude figures through abstracted textures and lines, challenging the historic sexualised female nude and subverting the male gaze. 

Jemima suffered from mental illness issues and her road to recovery was scribbling, painting and designing. She channels her anxiety issues through her work and openly shares her experiences to break the stigma around mental health. 

Jemima studied Puppetry: Design & Performance at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (2015-2018).
