Kelly Bianchi
Kelly Bianchi, Against tomorrow’s sky (detail), 2021, Oil on canvas, 150 x 100cm; photograph courtesy of the artist.
Influenced by her tattooing practice, Kelly Bianchi’s first solo exhibition furthers her exploration into alternative representations of the human form. She examines the figure as a cultural, historical and reflective entity. Utilising the human canvas, Bianchi juxtaposes discordant fragments within the picturesque landscapes of classic paintings, seeking to interrupt the romantic ideal. These interruptions suggest a counter narrative of relational challenges and questions the place of romanticism's unrealistic expectations of love within our contemporary existence.
