About The Work
This painting is part of a body of work by Agnès Thurnauer that analyses the legacy of the feminine body as an active element of the studio. Since 1998, she has used her studios as a space for diverse performative gestures, recording them by camera and subsequently translating them into painting. Her singular practice, which combines painting, performance, sculpture, collage, drawing, and writing is profoundly informed by her research of art history's canonical and parallel narratives, feminist thought, psychoanalysis, and gender studies. The key issue she addresses in her artistic research is related to the absence of the body in the modernist canon of the 20th century.
