Despite the reign of technology in art, simplistic approaches toward figuration have endured. Idiosyncratic elements, such as a brushstroke, an imperfect or erroneous reproduction, or invented reality, elicit responses in the viewer that contribute to the artist's visual language. "Seeing in Tongues" explores these languages expressed in the artist's magical, surreal or hysterical realities.
I'm very proud to be part of this exhibit......be sure to come out and see it!

Portraits
play a profound role in the development of art history. From ancient
lintels depicting Lady Xok at the Maya site of Yaxchilan to Cindy
Sherman’s constructions of identity, portraits of women reflect
culture, history, and character formation processes. Throughout the
development of Western art history, images of women fashioned by men
relate narratives of femininity.
Portraits
by John Singleton Copley of Boston’s elite or José de Alcíbar’s
paintings of nuns in commemoration of the affirmation of their vows in
Colonial Mexico demonstrate how male artists created histories for
specific women through the visual arts. At the dawn of the twentieth
century, women artists became increasingly recognized and in
particular, women who depicted fellow women received enhanced
attention, notably the painter Mary Cassatt and the photographer Julia
Margaret Cameron.
With art historical tradition in mind, “Women Imaging Women: A Study of
Female Portraiture “examines how contemporary artists depict either
themselves or other women.
This
exhibition asks: how do women present images of other women? By
presenting a diverse group of artists working in myriad media, Women
Imaging Women offers a complex study of how women artists portray
womanhood. The included works provide varied representations as some
are abstract and mystical, while others are naturalistic and earnest.
