Deborah Oropallo: Bell the Cat
at Catharine Clark Gallery, San Francisco
San Francisco, CA, USA
Jan 07, 2017 - Feb 18, 2017
Catharine Clark Gallery presents Bell the Cat, a solo exhibition by Deborah Oropallo on view January 7 – February 18, 2017. As with her previous exhibition, Guise, Oropallo’s newest work investigates the legacies of gender and power in portraiture. Through compelling use of photomontage, Oropallo juxtaposes figures found in historical paintings with both images from costume catalogues and her own studio photography, layering these seemingly disparate sources into intricate compositions that explore portrayals of gender norms across visual culture. Bell the Cat draws inspiration from fairy tales like Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood as iconic texts that have shaped how we relate to “femininity” in our culture. read more...
