About the Exhibit

Ms. Kveck and Mr. Samaniego shatter the notions of beauty by breaking down society’s perceptions of masculinity and femininity. Taking nods from artists like Cindy Sherman and Francis Bacon, Kveck and Samaniego utilize confrontational portraiture to critique constructions of how society views gender and identity. They deviate from the idealized figure by creating fractured figures through collage, drawing, and painting.

“Perception, how we view others, and how we are viewed, all feed into one’s character. In the work of Wendy Kveck and Daniel Samaniego, both artists create agglomerations of various figures that personify aspects of the gaze and perception,” said Katie Hovencamp Linder Gallery Director. “These works evoke a powerful emotional response that confront the viewer by making them consider how we view others.”
