BK2967 Painting

The focus of my painting practice has been to refabricate the body with suggestions of contamination and displacement, reflecting my own personal cultural history as a Hungarian/Romany/Canadian. Tainting the paintings with my own foreignness, the paintings are imbedded in perpetual rootlessness, as the figures contain exile and otherness within themselves. My work has focused on the representation of the human body undergoing transformation, abandoning formal purity and desiring disengagement from the human condition as a result of contemporary digital technologies and hopelessness. As a social construct the body is perception and the perceptual dichotomies of male/female, natural/unnatural, self/other, live/dead increasingly shift. My work portrays something both organic and artificial in this dissonance. Through various formal elements, these polymorphic figures are created to confront sexual and cultural categories and are recasting the body as part imaginary and part construct. Exploring notions of the cyborg and the prosthetic, these figures will stand between human and post-human, and will exist between a biotechnological medical body and the sexualized body, the fashion industry and anime.
