Review of Kate Marshalls Blue Stockings
06-06-2008
PRIVATE VIEW OF A BLUE STOCKINGS Kate Marshall returned to DegreeArt.com's gallery almost a year to the day after her 2007 solo debut was singled out as a must-see by the Sunday Times. Her signature figures in acrylic and charcoal “flirt between painting and drawing” and feature alongside work that shows a new bent for printmaking. ABOUT THE EXHIBITION: Bra-burning strip artists, suffragette jockeys and voyeuristic glances through the glass ceiling offer a “smutty, seaside postcard humour” take on feminism, femininity and the sexualized female image in popular culture. Her inspiration comes from images of women “culled from a glossy magazine, a fairy tale, historic art and literature, trash culture, ancient myth and coffee table erotica. ![]() ![]() Click here for more photos of the private view Click here to view available work by Kate ATTENDED GUESTS Kate Marshall, Jack Coriggall, Elinor Olisa (DegreeArt.com), Isobel Beauchamp (DegreeArt.com), Patsy Lima, Gregory Smart, Lorna May Wadsworth, Nathan James, Marcus Jaye (ChicGeek), Jamie McLaren (Run Riot), The Grunbergs, Ruth Holoway, DRINKS Duvel Vedett AFTER PARTY The Hoxton Pony, Curtain Road MUSIC Alex Gromadzki WHERE |
