A solo exhibition of new paintings by Noga Shatz, curated by Dr Lee Weinberg

A new body of work exploring the representation of the female figure in painting through a contemporary perspective. Noga Shatz re-examines famous women models, depicted by famous painters throughout the history of art, tracing their stories and bringing them to the front of the canvas, focusing on the fragmentation of the female figure. The works reclaim ‘known’ narratives in history and offer new interpretations to represent a layered female identity.

“The studio space is very important to me- it is my ‘Room of One’s Own’. I’d usually start working in the studio, using what’s available in the space. I begin with drawing or painting; experimenting with materials. I like to create monotype prints in my studio, without using a press. It results in making drumming sounds which I see as part of the process/rituals. The beauty of working inter or multi disciplinary is that the work informs you what medium best serves. I don’t decide in advance.

I have an idea of what I want to explore beforehand. Then I see what arises in the studio. My research is studio based. The work in the studio generates the research itself. From that process, images or experimentation with materials takes place, which I later explore in depth on my computer. I trace and explore the origins, cultural heritage, popular uses of these images, and how they are linked to me. And then I try things out from a more informed perspective. It’s a process, and I keep myself open for surprises. Plans are often fragile, dynamic.”   Interview with Noga Shatz in Emerging Voices 2022
