Women Artists
On the occasion of the collective exhibition Joelle’s Art Salon, Silva Usta presents a set of her Women Artists series. This work pays tribute to creators who have transformed our view of art, l’image, the body and freedom. Painters, photographers, filmmakers, performers and visual artists appear not as fixed icons, but like living presences, unique and daring.
For several years, Silva Usta builds research around women, of memory, minorities and trajectories of resistance. Its visual language is immediately recognizable : a deliberately refined black line, light backgrounds and touches of red – his favorite color – which evoke both life, passion, the injury, revolt and freedom.
In Women Artists, each portrait is thought of as an encounter. A gesture, an object or a posture is enough to recall the world of the woman represented. Yoko Ono, Frida Kahlo, Niki de Saint Phalle, Nan Goldin, Agnès Varda, Judy Chicago, ORLAN, Georgia O’Keeffe, Yayoi Kusama and other creators respond to each other in a gallery of looks and attitudes.
The series 2026-2027 brings together 17 works. It is part of the continuity of the Pioneer Women and Committed Poets series., with the same desire : make visible women who have opened paths, moved borders and marked cultural history…..
