About this artwork

Pera’s oils are traversed by a fascination with academic drawing – one that relies on the (male) instruments of rationality and formal rigour - in the portrayal of classical sculptures, and in the investigation into the behaviour of light on reflective surfaces. Yet the colour palette, the posture and setting of the figures portrayed convey a state of rebellion against dogmatic notions of femininity that subsist today. The figures appear in motion,… no longer defined by their marble stasis, while the imagery of laser beams and disco balls transmits a sense of urgency, almost a declaration of war enunciated from an angel’s horn. Pera’s representation of the body substantiates the feminine subjectivity, by irrevocably eliciting personal responses to its appearance. The marble statues, no longer static and upright, acquire body, flesh and movement. The figures take ownership of their own physicality evacuating the enfant from the femme.
