concept

Chloë Reners has focused on the representation of women in Surrealism, their bodies fragmented or transformed into something that goes further. The magical realism of painter George Underwood - who reimagined female figures in a way that feels important mythically or symbolically, often depicting them wrapped in curved surfaces - has inspired her in exploring the concept of how representations can shape our perception of reality. This disconnection strongly resonated with Chloë’s own exploration of surreal portrayals of women in art, of how these influence the way society constructs idealised images that do not correspond to reality. It has led her to question fixed ideas of beauty and identity, ultimately bringing to life Underwood’s opus.
