Wynnie Mynerva’s work revolves around gender politics, queer aesthetics, and female desire. Their painterly style and specific color palette is referential to periods in western art history that historically engaged with the female form only in relationship to the male gaze. Unravelling centuries old aesthetics to tear down and redefine femininity, Mynerva uses energetic gestures to harness a liberating power that makes it nearly impossible to impose a possessive gaze on the female forms of their paintings.
