Angela Santana (b.1986) is a Swiss born artist, currently livingand working in New York. Taking inspiration from New Yorkfemale painting predecessors; Cecily Brown, Joan Semmel, Dana Schutz, and Georgia O’Keeffe, Angela Santana’s series reconstruct the depiction, and perception, of the classical trope that is the female nude. The series brings together a mass ofintimate images of the female body, that work to interrogate the subjugation of the male gaze: powerfully reconfiguring her subjects into protected, and reimagined figures. Santana explores the intersection between, the fast-paced consumption of the online world, and women’s representation. Her works reimagine how we might present, witness,and digest, artworks depicting the female body rejecting a classical and male dominated lens.
