Ava Leeser: blue

This event has passed.

Painting of a human figure with no nose, crouching, sitting directly on a hardwood floor, with a white striped wall behind them and a blue and white china vase to their left. The figure has long black hair, black eyes, dark red nailpolish on their hands, and is wearing nothing but white frilly socks and white frilly undergarments.

Artist Statement

My show is a series of figurative oil paintings. They are spontaneous compositions born from both a specific feeling or memory and a reflection on my own relationship to femininity and womanhood. The figures are adorned with objects that perform femininity, and their experiences exist in my own memory.
