Elena Redmond's exhibition 'Sitting Ducks' showcases her unique portraiture style, delving into themes of privacy, vulnerability, and power. The work confronts the complexities of compliance and rebellion while reflecting on the female form through historical, literary, and artistic lenses. Redmond's figures serve not just as subjects, but as significant sites for psychological exploration and projection. Drawing influences from Mannerist painting and Surrealism, the exhibit aims to comment on the portrayal and perceptions of femininity, emphasizing its historical context and modern interpretations within the stark light of a New York apartment.
Through her distinctive approach to portraiture, Redmond continues a voyeuristic, jewel-toned journey through her personal relationship with privacy, vulnerability and power.
Sitting Ducks investigates what it means to be on display, "a vulnerable target waiting in the shade".
