Purple Art
[January 14 2025]
Angela Santana exhibition at Saatchi Yates London, on view until February 20th
Challenging the rigid confines of tradition with an unflinching gaze toward the digital age, Santana’s work dismantles the historical male gaze. Reconstructing representations of the female form through a uniquely layered oil painting technique that originates in digital fragmentation. Santana’s art thrives on the tension between corporeal identity and the hyper-mediated consumption of bodies online, reimagining what it means to depict, witness, and interpret femininity. The show navigates themes of transformation and agency, offering a bold reclamation of power and form.
