WOO'S GILDA BRUNO FEATURES STUDIO WEST'S EXHIBITION, 'SKIN DEEP' IN ITS 'THE BEST OF ART AND CULTURE' GUIDE.
"Showing at London's STUDIO WEST, Skin Deep is a thought-provoking reflection on the body, with its tactile quality brought to life via the vivid brushstrokes of a cohort of emerging figurative painters. Here, the body is more than a flesh prison: it's a site of compromise between our internal and external selves and a living record of the “scars of experience, inner struggle and trauma”.
Inspired by Bessel van der Kolk’s seminal exploration of somatic trauma therapy The Body Keeps the Score and Melissa Febos’ candid and sensitive memoir Body Work, Skin Deep sees 11 participating artists engage with the bones, blood and skin of the body in deeply personal and contrasting ways."
