Chantal Joffe's Feminist Figuration at Milan's Galleria Monica de Cardenas
Chantal Joffe (b. 1969, St. Albans City; lives in London) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria Monica de Cardenas in Milan, reclaiming female presence erased by centuries of patriarchy. Her paintings depict women as fallible, emotional, and social entities, rejecting objectification and utopian fetishism. Joffe's style employs honest, essential, and brutal brushstrokes instead of graceful painting, offering an alternative vision of femininity. The exhibition is reviewed by Francesca Mattozzi.
