In
celebration of a new association with Fiona Smyth, the Robert Kananaj Gallery
proudly begins to present some of the artist’s works created in the last ten
years. The exhibited works include paintings and drawings from the series Bride of Gene 2002 and The Virtuous- Rise of the Matriarchy 2007. Smyth’s themes include examinations of the
elastic resiliency of female identity and the idea of traumatic memory living in
the tissue of the body. Her figurative paintings reveal violent and beautiful
narratives about the conflict of the exterior corporeal world and internal
truths of being female.
Artist Silvia Argiolas will also
be exhibiting new works at this time in the gallery space.
