Collection: GYAN SHROSBREE SWIMSUIT PAINTING SERIES

Gyan's 2024 and 2023 swimsuit paintings series. Rob Samartino writes about Gyan's work in Two Coats of Paint, "Shrosbree’s visual devices remind us that while we do not choose our bodies, we do choose our clothing. In so doing, we are all artists in a sense. Her women are neither naked nor dressed; they are not wearing clothes so much as they are clothes. Thus, she bridges a gap between mind and body: what is chosen in the dressing room can shroud the imposition of our corporeal existence. Shrosbree’s figures stand on the boundary between the symbolic and the figurative, the heraldic and the expressive, of having and of being. She provides a means of empathizing with one another through the gateway of the body, bringing celebration, agency, and liberation to an aspect of our condition that often imprisons us."
