"Dualisme" Print - Limited Edition of 1

one of the limited edition ( one of 100) abstract print series part of the solo show 'Collared' 2015 Jan Dhaese gallery Ghent. Print of original Airbrush piece by Lg White. Digital print heavyweight gloss top coated on board 'Collared' What does the word 'collar' mean to us? Our first thoughts are probably of the part of a garment that encircles the neck – a shirt collar. Given a few more seconds, and we may think of a restraining or identifying band of leather, metal or plastic put around the neck of an animal - a dog collar. A collar could also be a tight fitting necklace. Go deeper in to English slang, and we find it meaning to 'arrest' a criminal – as in 'he was collared by the police'. It is safe to say that all of these meanings weave their subtle threads in to the fabric of LG White's new show. On one level there is a blunt, feminist indignation at the idea of male ownership – represented through history in the female's necessary donning of fashionable symbols of subjugation: from the Elizabethan 'ruff' collar and the courtly mask, to the neutralising, depersonalising, unsexing of women in their Burkhas. All these symbols represent forms of control and restraint – a subject from which LG seeks to emancipate herself by radically varying the means of production in each series. She explores her subject in many different forms: photo realism, suggestive art, pop art, pencil drawing, oil painting, air brush. In other words, she is refusing to wear the collar by which art reputation and art history seek to control and restrain the artist. She will not stay in any one box long enough to be branded with any critic's mark. I have been privileged to watch LG create these works from beginning to end, and so feel entitled to throw just one noose around the neck of this show. If it must have one word to describe itself, then it should surely be hung with it's own description. It is COLLART. Simon Boswell, February 2015
