This group exhibition brings together three artists who challenge and reframe traditional narratives around female representation, domestic space, beauty, and the body. Through painting, sculpture, and installation, the artists examine how femininity can be shaped through images, objects, advertising, and environments, while also asserting agency, complexity, and self-definition. The artists’ varied depictions of the feminine reveal how it is created from lived experience, material culture, and visual language. Their work examines how identity is negotiated and reshaped, offering a nuanced view of the ways women’s lives are constructed and expressed across different spaces, forms and experiences.
