Artist Statement
STILL shows us a sitting pose from a figure, like many models would take, in any high gloss fashion magazine. What was once a beautiful pose from a gorgeous model, with perfect body type and features, is now broken down to its base ugliness, of what society deems is beautiful.
With our focus on the cookie cutter woman, the paint in this piece has been molested to look like an insect, creating a grotesque mutilation of the face. In todays world, we dissect everyone to fit the images seen on the covers of magazines, without looking at the ugliness of our own selves and our judgements on others.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
