DEBORAH OROPALLO – BELL THE CAT

Posted on 2016-12-19

Bell the Cat draws inspiration from fairy tales like Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood as iconic texts that have shaped how we relate to “femininity“ in our culture. Since the 2016 presidential election, however, the work has taken on another resonance as women’s rights and progressive causes have come increasingly under attack. Additional layers of paint and photomontage begin to distort the images beneath, gesturing to the contstant disruption of pop-ups and consumer advertisements. Oropallo’s aggressive interplay between media and images offers a startling proposition that in a new political era where misinformation can influence an election, cultural texts – however seemingly innocuous – are volatile. In conjunction with these unique mixed media works on canvas, Catharine Clark Gallery is pleased to debut Oropallo’s first video work, White as Snow, as a complement to her gallery presentation.

Exhibition runs through to February 18th, 2017
