Spray paint is Liversage’s medium of choice which she assuredly deploys, along with acrylics, to challenge the traditional delineations between fine art and street art culture. Fusing Renaissance portraiture with a strident urban sensibility. ‘I feel strongly about the role women play in our society and am interested in portraying the strength and Femme fatalism of women in my portraits and still-lives. The role of matriarch has gained impetus through the digital age. Empowerment, transformation and a greater emphasis on gender-equality has created a global shift in how femininity is perceived and how contemporary women are portrayed.’
