Coral Woodbury: One Eye Closed

One Eye Closed is a solo exhibition of new artwork by Coral Woodbury. Woodbury is internationally known for her series of ink portraits of women artists portrayed on pages torn from exclusionary art histories. Her recent oil paintings remix 500 years of Western art history, opening the book more widely on stories of women in art. The exhibition ranges from paintings inspired by 17th century Dutch florals, a theme deemed “feminine” and thus devalued, to a scene of a 19th century women’s sculpture class featuring a cow rather than a nude model, because women were forbidden from viewing or working from the nude.
