Cathy Daley „2 Black Dresses & Stylo“
Cathy Daley (1955-2022) was a Canadian artist best known for her black pastel drawings on vellum that depict female torsos and legs, usually wrapped in flowing dresses or tutus. Daley’s work emphasizes the abstract nature of depicting movement, with an attitude of theatricality and feminine empowerment. The artist wrote: “Drawing on persistent cultural images inspired by ballerina tutus, the garb of fairy-tale princesses and Barbie doll couture, my work investigates childhood memories of what it means to be female in Western culture and explores cultural representation of the feminine and the body. The drawings mine contemporary vocabularies of glamour, fashion, popular culture, cartoons, street signage, Hollywood cinema, fairy tales, and mythology, to examine the iconography of the feminine as it exists in the cultural imaginary, personal memory, and fantasy.” Her works are in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, and the Art Gallery of Ontario, among others. | Image: „Stylo“ 2018, Box of 13 Archival Pigment Prints, Edition of 30, 27 x 20 cm, EUR 1.900,- | Opening Reception on Sunday, July, 26th, 11am | Duration 26.7.-19.9.2026 | Opening hours during summer by appointment only.
