Arte Femminile di Fantasisa
Working in the medium of ink, charcoal and coloured pencil on soft cardboard these mainly self portraits, tantalisingly set in soft abstract backgrounds, take us beyond the aesthetic and the decorative to a world of intense beauty. Occasionally, though, the question has been asked: as the artist saw herself as essentially religious in nature, was it really necessary for her to always depict herself naked? Indeed, was she not being rather exhibitionist, perhaps even sacrilegious, in doing so?
