Révéler
Curated by Emie Diamond
The female figure in art reveals a composite of societies’ aesthetic, ideology, and values. Historical depictions were often tied to mythological narratives, which subjugated sensuality and subverted the ‘real’ woman. The proliferation of classical imagery in art perpetuated the images of an idealized and desexualized woman. This motif achieved a fever pitch in the 19th century, when a critic remarked that the Salon de Paris could be renamed the Salon de Venus. Eventually moral reform, avant-garde experimentation, the Second World War, and a multitude of factors, served as catalysts for evolution of the female form.
Révéler presents a survey of the modern figure freed from classical archetypes. The exhibition explores form through use of silhouetting, obscuring and abstracting to reveal the essence of a subject. Réveler portrays the delicate balance of concealing versus exposing and inspires reflection on the current state of women in art.
