Luise Fong
Virgin
Artwork Detail
For Luise Fong painting can be seen as metaphor for the body. Its drips and stains are like the body's own fluids, and its surfaces like the skin that contains them. The body is presented in Fong's works as site of both seduction and violence, eroticism and mysticism.
