Elena Redmond – BOOOOOOOM! – CREATE * INSPIRE * COMMUNITY * ART * DESIGN * MUSIC * FILM * PHOTO * PROJECTS
A choice of current work by Brooklyn, New York-based artist Elena Redmond (beforehand featured right here). A current graduate of Rhode Island Faculty of Design, Redmond is represented by Tchotchke Gallery, the place her debut solo exhibition is at the moment on view till Might tenth. Utilizing self-portraiture to discover themes of need, privateness, and iterations of the physique, Redmond employs humor and kitsch associations to level at her personal uncertainties and looming discomforts.
“These works act as extensions of myself, portraits of my anxieties, angers, habits and physicality,” she explains. “By way of self portraiture, I make the most of the vulnerability of sharing to offer heaviness to loud colours, toying with requirements, measurements and expectations of smallness for the ladies in every picture. . . I goal to query the construction via which we have a look at the physique; in relation to alternative, expectations, loudness, and definition. Femininity, largeness, roundness, and nakedness don’t act as a detriment to the ladies within the work, however as the most important energy, invading the associations surrounding them.”
