Nice Flaps
Nice Flaps is an artist initiative formed with the unanimous aim to gather and observe together, to provide time to concentrate, to look, to be, without an outcome in mind other than contemplation itself.
We offer non-taught, experimental drawing events generally with a model, perhaps two; mostly naked, sometimes in costume; alone in the room, or mingling among props and sets. We collaborate with artists, institutions, and other artist-run spaces, and challenge the parameters of life drawing by asking: What does it mean to draw from life? How can it affect our daily perception of the world? Our programme therefore expands beyond traditional life drawing that technically trains artists, instead creating comfortable welcoming spaces where first-timers and regulars alike can take part in an art event and share a collective moment with others.
Nice Flaps has been running since 2019 and is organised and curated by artists Annemarie Wadlow (UK) and Alejandra López Martínez (ES).
