The works on view present the familiar theme of women represented on canvas. Where the tactility of the works is soft and inviting, the works’ graphic aesthetics lend a jarringly bold impact.
In this particular work, Schnitger reflects on current socio-political themes such as abortion and the right for women to decide over their own bodies.Exhibitions
