The female gaze is a theoretical term representing the gaze of the female viewer, and is a response to Laura Mulvey’s concept of ‘the male gaze’. Mulvey's article, ‘Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema’, focused on the concept of scopophilia - the pleasure of gazing and how women are often depicted as spectacles to be objectified and viewed, unable to return the gaze. Male subjects are rarely seen through the female gaze, whereas the opposite is often the case. I wanted to show a man comfortable not only with being ‘delicate’ but also being the object of the viewer.

Helena Cardow is a figurative artist living and working in London, UK. She read MA Visual Arts and Culture, and BA Sociology at Durham University, and began exploring her artistic practice after graduating. Thematically, her art is concerned with the depiction of bodies in spaces that are actively created by a partial eye, and how these compositions and biases affect the meaning of the overall image. She is also heavily influenced by her academic background, delving into sociological topics such as the intersectional relationships between conceptions of race, feminism, gender and sexuality - revealing subjects whilst simultaneously encouraging the viewer to question the power dynamics inherent in the act of ‘looking’.
