About the Item
Self Portrait as a Explorer, 2018
Pencil on Paper (Signed front right corner)
18.90 H x 12.99 W in
48 H x 33 W cm
The drawing series "Self Portrait as..." is a very subtle and intriguing commentary about our human nature.
Posed in different context and times, being represented as an ancient God or Goddess, a fertility God, a Titan, a Hunter, an Explorer, an exposed Milf or an Old wife, the artist tries to explore the idea of the body and the body perceived as a sexual duality.
The commentary about actual gender representations is made thru discussing gender ambiguity from ancient times.
