The BFA Solo Gallery at Stan State Art Space is thrilled to announce the BFA Solo Exhibition In the Body, From the Body by Bachelor of Fine Arts candidate Madeleine Guevara from December 10 - 12. An opening reception will take place December 11th from 4:00p.m. - 6:00p.m. with an artist talk at 4:30 p.m. (STAN STATE ART SPACE, 226 N. First St., Turlock, CA 95380)
Madeleine Guevara creates oil paintings and handmade toys to discuss the intertwined relationship between one's body, psychological state, and the comfort of disbelief surrounding sexual trauma. By use of pattern, saturated fields, and the figure, she emphasizes how even in suffering, the feminine body must remain visually pleasing and accessible. The work processes bodily discomfort and disorientation by illuminating how anticipating assault and objectification changes self-perception and presence.
