DIGITAL WINDOWS ART GALLERY
YVONNE PICOT
Looking Out
18 November - 17 December 2008
The Exhibition:
The three works displayed are large digital prints entitled “I”,“ Trapped” and “Looking Out”. The focus of artwork has been to depict the way social pressure imprisons or alienates women,
in its powerful pressure to conform to an ideal body image and appearance.
The artist says “ with all three pieces I have worked with collage, paint and oil pastel.”
“Two entirely different artworks were photographed and reworked in Photoshop, creating
a layer upon layer, strengthening the impression of the figures looking out through the layers of colour.” The artwork is for sale and can also be purchased in limited edition at smaller scale.
