Description
"and the men are hungry like wolves, trying to ride her and take her precious red hood."acrylic paints in wood, 50x70cm.
This is a piece I've made for my mini solo exhibition, titled "Damsel in Distress". Here's the press release:
This show, entitled "Damsel In Distress", is a series of visual imagery, a modern twist on the old-time classic fairy tales that we are all familiar with. You will see Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and many others, in the context of today's realistic modern world,
facing the same old issues brought into a somewhat darker vision..
This exhibition's purpose is to raise awareness about violence against women, in the form of the issues faced by fairy tale characters in a real-world context; women's rights, gender inequality and abuse, in an effort to show our local community that it DOES happen around us, and we can do something about it, even if it's just changing our mindsets.
The artworks are for sale, and part of the proceedings were donated to a foundation that deals with VAW.
