HERO FEATURES STUDIO WEST'S EXHIBITION, 'THE BLUSH UPON HER CHEEK'.
"Restoration Court painter Sir Peter Lely’s 1660s Windsor Beauties, a series of eleven portraits capturing ladies of the court of King Charles II, provide the starting point for Studio West’s latest exhibition. A trio of contemporary artists examine and deconstruct problematic notions of traditional beauty, as Leo Costelloe’s sculptural pieces speak to the relationship between gender and adornment, Florence Reekie dissects the classical role of drapery and Ki Yoong’s delicate portraits revise Lely’s original set in a contemporary manner."
