| Artist Michael Williams will exhibit in Self at 1310 Gallery in Fort Lauderdale |
1310 Middle St., Fort Lauderdale, 305-975-6262, Sailboatbendartists.com
Self, an exhibition by artists Michael Williams and Natalie Baldeon, will include works that explore "self-identity, discovery, indulgence and personal realization." Williams, a painter who received his BFA from University of Central Florida, will present a series of large works that depict intimate moments between himself and his mirror. Each work is hung directly across from an identical work that mirrors the image
Baldeon, who recently received her MFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2012, will exhibit photographs and painted images of herself as "both seductive and repulsive, glamorous and grotesque, aggressive and vulnerable" to depict the nature of boundaries while questioning the threshold of acceptability. Her intention is "to expose the complexities of contemporary gendered embodiment, particularly the correlation between body and image" in works that present the body in acts of consumption, from "the literal consumption of food to the suggestive psychological or sexual consumption."
The exhibition opens 7-10 p.m. Aug. 18 and runs through Sept. 1.
