JUDITH LIEBE
“PANDORA’S BOX - Transformation of a Woman”
July 10 â 27, 2008
Opening Reception: July 10, 7 â 10 PM
“Provocative Love, seductive Love, hopeless Love. Liebe’s images of women reflect triumph, power, loneliness and pain.”
-David Glover, Curator
German artist Judith Liebe returns to Los Angeles with her most striking U.S. show yet. Focused on ‘the fearless Female’, which Liebe marries images of the female body, fashion as well as erotic media, created in the form of photo collage, as well as paintings of nudes, both brazen and unapologetic, with a direct connection to the poetic.
As in her earlier works, women take the center stage. The body remains the focal point of all forms of love.
“I see the modern body as an analytical event consisting of special effects. We witness this especially in the representation of the female in all media. Collage is an adequate medium to express our analytical relationship to our own form nowadays. My work remains romantic as all concepts dealing with the human machine or the human as artificial being. I am still exploring our desires.”
Judith Liebe cites Hannah Hoechs’ show at LACMA and David Hockney’s works inspired by photography and classic masters as her inspiration. Liebe works combine a classic eye with modern photo collage. Photo collage is the basis for her oil paintings.
Marble Arch Fine Arts also shows Liebe’s oil paintings as well as her landscapes. Liebe previously showed her landscapes work at the Frank Pictures at Bergamot Station in 2005.
