I just completed the piece I created for Compound Gallery's group exhibition "Textbook History."
"Marie Antoinette as the woman-as-man monster, the diamond necklace wearer, the notorious pornographic star, and the fifteen-year-old maiden"
mixed media on canvas
20 x 24"
$ 1280 US
The theme of the exhition is that the artist would choose a piece of history that he/she will interpret the history and translate it visually. There is no restriction on the medium or size. I love group exhibition like that where there is a loose limit, so that you are enouraged to do what you normally wouldn't, but there isn't a strict limit on every aspect there is.
I have always been fascinated by the last queen of France. It was a perfect excuse to soak up some reading about the politics around the queen.
The exhibition is in September, and the opening will be on the 3rd.
