KELLY REEMTSEN
The paintings and works on paper for which Kelly Reemtsen is best known are elaborate depictions of the role of the modern day woman.
Strikingly feminine at first glance, with their bodies adorned in fashionable and colorful designer dresses and runway-worthy accessories, Reemtsen’s women are not simply pinup girls or arm candy. Rather, the women, while dressed to the nines, undertake household, and often, traditionally masculine tasks. The objects they hold, from dishrags to wrenches to chainsaws, range from domestic to menacing, and yet, as a body of work, address the question of the proper and present role of the contemporary woman. Reemtsen’s artistic answer to that is quite simple – anything and everything! Anonymous torsos, the women remain beautiful representations of the feminine with which anyone can identify.
