St. Judith in an oval
April 5, 2020
90 x 70 mm, oil on canvas
The plot is taken from classic oil paintings. St. Judith experienced violence and killed the Oloferne. For me this is a symbol of action, also the only active female heroine on the classic oil paintings. Symbolically St. Judith is beheading patriarchal traditions, also in an art institution, where there are no topics about female vulnerability, social violence, and the absence of female artists.
