Considering Introspection | Virginia Chihota
In Virginia Chihota's introspective world of shadows and illusions, personal experiences are translated into a powerful language of abstract symbols. At the centre of the work is a continual exploration of femininity through the events of childbearing and motherhood that connect women around the world. Giving visual form to these experiences, Chihota's shapeshifting figures appear to float in fields of abstract colour where body parts are reduced to detached limbs and physical gestures.Mirroring the artist's reflections on the turmoil and resilience of the human spirit, Chihota's work speaks to a process of becoming, in which the mind and body are captured in a constant state of transformation.
