Angela Grossmann
January 21, 2023 - February 18, 2023
Expressive, fluid, and frequently elusive, Angela Grossmann’s works may be thought of as traditional portraiture, but in fact she takes the genre in new directions. While Grossmann’s depictions have a remarkable human likeness, more significantly she brings psychological insights into the representation of the female as visualized in western society. Grossmann depicts the body because she is empowered by it and familiar with it—through observations, memories, and lived experience—and has now been addressing it in her studio practice for over four decades. As a woman, she is able to externalize the complexities of the desiring gaze, bringing to the fore representations of people, that not only celebrate beauty, joy, and the maternal, but also embody melancholy, introspection, as well as a subject’s own desires—in other words, unveiling the many dimensions of femininity.
Angela Grossmann: With Themselves continues at Equinox Gallery until Saturday, February 18th.

Angela Grossmann

For nearly four decades, Angela Grossmann has been recognized for her relentless probe into the complexities of identity, gender politics, and displacement. The subjects of her paintings, photo-based collages, and mixed-media works largely reference the female form, culled from a vast archive of images collected by the artist that includes art-historical references, postcards, and found snapshots.
Angela Grossmann lives and works in Vancouver, Canada.
