Emma Currie
The western art canon is a parade of famous female nudes, almost all of which have been painted by men. Emma Currie’s new show ‘Venus in Repose’ creates a dialogue with this tradition, connecting an archetypal femininity with a lyrical pastel palette to introduce a new visual language with which to view these familiar female forms. Emma commands agency for her lounging bodies, many of which are direct references from classical art history: Modigliani's Nu couché, Matisse’s Blue Nude II, Cezanne’s The Large Bathers, and Manet’s Olympia. Emma’s soft new coda represents the contradictions and conflicts of contemporary womanhood.
