Ella Walker @ Pilar Corrias

11 September 2024 - 9 November 2024

In The Romance of a Rose, Ella Walker weaves imagery from broad swathes of history and popular culture – medieval manuscripts to modern ballet, the cinema of Fellini and Pasolini to fetish-wear magazines – to produce emotive, stage-like scenes. Interrogating traditional depictions of women throughout art history, Walker’s paintings offer a counterpoint to the traditional casting of female subjects as exemplars of vice and virtue. Freed from this moral framework, her figures are re-calibrated, reentering the world of images as complex, contradictory, unruly beings.
