"Embodied Bodies" is a compelling exhibition that brings together the evocative drawing works of Caitlin Rose and CL Martin, two artists whose practices delve deep into themes of identity, intimacy, and the human form. Through their distinct yet harmonious approaches, the exhibition offers a nuanced exploration of how bodies can be sites of personal and political expression.
"Embodied Bodies" seeks to create a dialogue between Rose's and Martin's works, highlighting how each artist uses the human figure to explore complex themes of identity and self-expression. By juxtaposing their artworks, visitors will be encouraged to consider the multifaceted ways in which bodies can tell stories, challenge norms, and evoke empathy.
The exhibition not only showcases their individual talents but also fosters a deeper understanding of the diverse ways in which art can reflect and shape our perceptions of identity and embodiment.
