Ghada Amer

For decades, Ghada Amer's work has revolved around the female body to show a sensuality that others would like to hide. Appropriating images from fashion magazines and advertising, the artist reflects on pleasure and the female role using embroidery as a means to draw shapes. The artist appropriates this technique that for years has been relegated to women, thus endowing her work with a symbolic charge. Over the years, her work evolved through the use of other techniques such as painting and sculpture. Thanks to experimentation in ceramics, she has discovered previously unknown chromatic ranges. Here we show some of his most recent works, tapestries that apparently look like stylized QR or labyrinths that treasure a message. They have been made in Cairo with an Egyptian technique used for centuries by craftsmen and that today shows its last vestiges.
