The Lorin Gallery is thrilled to present our second group exhibition this Spring called: “Femininity.” This show will run from May 7th to June 11th, 2022. The opening reception will take place on May 7th from 6-8 p.m in our Downtown gallery space.
Thirteen international gallery artists just as impressive and talented will be featured in the show: Emma Hapner, Larissa de Jesus Negrón, Florine Imo, Deb Koo, Elena Redmond, Heidi Ukkonen, Vincent Arnold, Kathryn Kampovsky, Lydia Cosford, Kelani Fatai Oladimeji, Ian Banja, Catherine Haggarty, and Alayna Coverly.
The topic of this upcoming project surveys the concern of femininity in all its form. In these times, women rely on a newly found power to speak up and question the dictates imposed around their appearance. As a result, we believe that a modern group of artists will have a better approach to exposing women's bodies in contemporary art; and with more influence than previous masters.
Although in recent decades, many women created awareness of their condition and tried to build a place of expression and emancipation. As of today, women's bodies are still considered taboo and are at the center of debates. Through a selection of works, visitors will be invited to question the various staging of the female body in contemporary art: how these bodies are both subjects of the artwork, objects of desire, and embodiment of female emancipation. How does the artist of our time decide to represent these bodies? To what extent are contemporary artists renewing our view of femininity?
We wish to show how these representations oscillate between modernity and conventions, heritage and revival.
