Opening Reception: Friday, April 25th, 6-8pm
DIMIN is proud to present Sitting Ducks, a provocative showcase of the newest work from Brooklyn-based artist Elena Redmond. Through her distinctive approach to portraiture, Redmond continues a voyeuristic, jewel-toned journey through her personal relationship with privacy, vulnerability and power. The work in Sitting Ducks further tests the tensions between compliance and rebellion, visibility and exposure, power and objectification — all through the lens of the female form, refracted across history, literature, and the sharp light of a New York apartment window. Drawing from the idiom, Sitting Ducks investigates what it means to be on display, "a vulnerable target waiting in the shade". In this work, figures are poised not simply as subjects, but as sites of projection and psychological negotiation. With references ranging from Mannerist painting to Surrealism, Redmond samples art history in quiet commentary on how femininity is historically performed, perceived, and painted.
