Bushes & Succulents est la célébration par Mona Kuhn de l’essence féminine – confiante, brute et élégante, mais conflictuelle et sans pologétique.
Rappelant les peintures florales de Georgia O’Keefe, vos yeux errent autour des lignes gracieuses, ne sachant pas exactement ce que vous regardez. Le processus de solarisation révèle les imperfections humaines, non seulement dans l’éclat métallique de la peau, mais apporte aussi à la surface les luttes, les forces et le pouvoir d’une femme.
“The frame reminded me of early childhood, at age eight or so, when I would jump in the shower with my mother. It resonates an adoration and child-like curiosity for what it is to be a woman. My intention is not to objectify the body, but to celebrate the female body and its essence.” – Mona Kuhn
Born in Brazil, Mona Kuhn currently resides in Los Angeles. Through intimacy with her subjects, knowledge of traditional iconography, and technical mastery, Kuhn portrays the complexities of human nature, both tempting and provoking our imagination.
Bushes & Succulents is Mona Kuhn’s celebration of the female essence – confident, raw and elegant, yet confrontational and unapologetic.
Reminiscent of Georgia O’Keefe’s floral paintings, your eyes wander around the graceful lines, not knowing exactly what you are looking at. The solarisation process reveals human imperfections, not only in the metallic brilliance of the skin, but also brings to the surface a woman’s struggles, strengths, and power.
