Feminine Face-off

Reminiscent of 1960’s Pop Art in their scale and repetition, Annette Bezor’s ‘portraits’ of women draw on female faces from art history, soft porn, self-portraits, seductive media blondes and Bezor’s own friends and imagination. The works confront the viewer with preconceived ideas of female beauty as well as our obsession with youth and the unblemished skins of airbrushed magazine girls. In her most recent paintings, Bezor has applied stylised designs over the works, flattening out the picture plane and three dimensionality of the work behind, forcing the viewer to acknowledge the images of women as just that, images and nothing like the real women they may have been inspired by. An exhibition of Annette Bezor’s work can be seen at the Turner Galleries in Northbridge until December 19. www.turnergalleries.com.au
