Censurée. 2020.
Acrylic paint on canvas. 40x60cm
"Censurée" (French) means "Censored". The female body is almost always subject to censorship. When it comes to showing up shirtless, this is not a question for men but often for women. But what is the difference between the female and male nipple? Why is it systematically sexualised?
"Cover that breast that I can't see. By such objects, souls are wounded, - And this brings forth guilty thoughts." It's been three centuries since these words were said by Molière, and yet they still seem relevant today... Because we Women also want to walk around shirtless just like men, without this being associated with a sexual invitation or vulgarity.
