HERO FEATURES STUDIO WEST'S EXHIBITION, 'THE ANGEL IN THE HOUSE' IN ITS 'WHAT TO DO THIS WEEKEND' GUIDE.
"Taking its title from the Victorian phrase used to signify a saintly and submissive wife, STUDIO WEST’s latest exhibition 'The Angel in the House' is a response to John Everett Millais’ 'The Bridesmaid' – an 1851 artwork depicting a Victorian marriage tradition. Exploring ideas around women’s desire for agency, a group of seven contemporary female artists depict scenes of domestic life, visualising notions of femininity while drawing on their own lived experiences. Compiling works from Jess Allen, Pippa El-Kadhi Brown, Olha Pryymak, Florence Reekie, Elena Rivera-Montanes, Grace Tobin and Xu Yang each redefines the relationship between women and traditional domesticity."
