Aleksandra Falarz

Kiss !

Falarz’ paintings insist on a slower, more conscious engagement that involves playful intimacy under the artist's terms. Across these works, the sequencing of paintings reflects a ‘gentle parenting’ conversation with the viewer hidden in the subtle directive of titling.

“Drawing from feminist critiques of visual culture and sexual representation, Aleksandra Falarz investigates how the female body is consumed and argued within contemporary discourse. Rather than rejecting the gaze, her paintings inhabit and redirect it—asserting control over the body while acknowledging the difficulty of escaping inherited ways of looking in a world saturated with female nudity. ”
