About The Artwork
Latvian-born painter Ella Kruglyanskaya is well-known for her large-scale works depicting vibrant, feminine figures. Kruglyanskaya’s work confronts cultural tropes head-on, engaging with voyeurism and exhibitionism with a strong sense of humour. In this unique ink drawing Kruglyanskaya presents two feminine figures lounging on hammocks which diagonally cross one another. The artist brings order to her loose brushstrokes by framing the scene within a square, consolidating the overlapping figures and patterns. In theme with the artist’s larger body of work, the feminine figures in this scene invite the viewer with their exaggerated sensuality and averted gazes.
