Salon 94 and Lyles & King are thrilled to collaborate on ‘Cross-dressing for the Battlefield”, a two-gallery solo exhibition of new paper and sculpture works by Natalie Frank opening April 29 through May 23.
“Cross-dressing for the Battlefield” explores female resistance, transgression and desire through the lens of feminist portraiture. Her female tropes are drawn from fairy tales, literature and art history, yet her subjects challenge the societal structures and conventional conceits of their original casting.
At Salon 94 Freemans (1 Freeman Alley), eight colorful paper pulp paintings take center stage surrounded by a chorus of elaborately underpainted and glazed ceramic sculptures displayed on pedestals and walls. Brightly adorned with blooming flora, they converse with their animal counterparts who act as talismans, spirit guides, or alter-egos.
