Anna von Freyburg. Papillotage

About

An oscillating movement intended to interfere with pictorial coherence, Anne von Freyburg's discipline consciously centralises the woman as the subject rather than the object.

Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, has mainly been at the forefront of idolised female form, which is still today intertwined with mainstream culture. This series urges Freyburg to supersede tightly controlled boundaries placed on female attributes. Her objective is to free oneself from these limitations reflected by her unrestrained and unapologetic use of colour, shape and medium that is not limited within a restrictive frame or canvas.

With this new body of work, that is both visceral and seductive, she has the autonomy to manipulate forms with the desire to denounce deeply rooted aversion towards feminine aesthetics and societal observations placed on women, throughout history.
