Painter/printmaker/arts educator Sarah Curry is one of HEDGE Gallery’s stable of represented artists, and currently her work is on view at HEDGE in a solo show called Common Threads, featuring figurative works focusing on women of all ages and types.
The paintings and prints at a range of issues confronting women today. One series called The Gravity explores the gap between women today and 50 years ago, how they differ and how they are the same.”
“By juxtaposing 50-year-old images of women with today’s women, I provide a space for the women to communicate,” say Curry. “I wonder what they would say and ask others to envision their interactions. Now that women’s reproductive autonomy lacks federal protection, I am hoping this generation of women will push for more relevance and equality before all rights are erased.”
Her O-Liz series is a group of colored monoprints that blends images of 20th-century actress Elizabeth Taylor and contemporary pop musician Lizzo, both of whom dealt with issues of appearance — one a symbol of extreme beauty the other a target for her weight- when they rose to fame.
The show is on view through Sat 10/26. On Tuesday October 22 @ 5:30-7PM, you can stop in the gallery to hear Curry talk about her work and ask her questions about it. It’s free and open to all.
