For the first time, Sarah Geneblazo removes her female subjects from the lush forest setting and depicts the instead as solitary; burdened. She focuses on clothing and, by extension, the constraints and expectations placed upon women by society, culture, religion, and family.
Angono-based realist Sarah Geneblazo presents her ninth solo exhibit; a new chapter in what has been an intensely personal, therapeutic, and cathartic journey in art. Known for her depictions of somber female figures amidst densely detailed greenery; Sarah continues the #feminist narrative in #Hemline, using the traditionally feminine slip to allude to the societal pressures borne by women.
