The exhibition intertwines perceptions of ancient Greek mythology with contemporary themes of strength, poetry, escapism, and dark humor.

The exhibition intertwines perceptions of ancient Greek mythology with contemporary themes of strength, poetry, escapism, and dark humor.
Painted like live sculptures—flawless, poised, and eternal — these figures are not simply objects of admiration, but embodiments of power, fragile yet fierce, mythical yet human. Evoking resilience, with a sense of kalm introspective endurance. These works invite the viewer into a space where logic doesn’t apply, where the boundaries between waking life and dreams blur into something both beautiful and mysterious.
Some figures are infused with a dark humor, where irony and wit comes through, for example through disembodied heads, referring to the beheading of medusa, symbolic to women criticizing women from a place of male prejudice.
The show reflects on the construction of identity, from a very personal place to the artist; evoking a sense of constructing oneself from the myriad influences of memory, culture, and self-perception. An open exploration and modern interpretation of mythology, contemporary life, and personal experience converged into a surreal world where power is both internal and external.
All to deal with a world where the boundaries of female power are constantly redefined and judged. A meditation on the myths we carry within ourselves, the beauty in our imperfections, and the seduction of dreams that refuse to let us sleep.

VENUS TALK: “Feminism and Art” with Martine Johanna and Ida-Marie Corell on 22nd March at 5 PM.
