This autumn, Lilford Gallery in the heart of Folkestone’s artist quarter, is holding a solo show of latex artist Michelle Mildenhall's work. The show coincides with the Folkestone Triennial and will feature 20 original works by the acclaimed artist as well as signed prints.
Latex-loving artist Michelle Mildenhall has thrilled, shocked and tantalised the art world with her provocative and subversive latex art works. Her work boldly explores sexual taboos and BDSM themes, examining both empowerment and vulnerability, often by fetishising iconic personalities in her distinctive pop art style.
This autumn, Lilford Gallery in the heart of Folkestone’s artist quarter, is holding a solo show of Michelle’s work. "Consensual Kink", will launch with a private view on Friday 29th September from 6-9. The show coincides with the Folkestone Triennial and will feature 20 original works by the acclaimed artist as well as signed prints.
The show promises to be an electrifying mix of provocative art featuring new pieces including “Brexit Bound”, depicting a woman gagged and tied, with the European flag in the background, all made from hand-cut latex. The piece is a metaphor for our time and poses questions about our voices being heard, sexually, politically and socially.
Michelle has exhibited her artwork worldwide, including shows in London, the USA and Germany.
