Summary
Each girl could be either a gangster or a detective, a mother or a sister, a colleague or a friend, but both their movie star and real life personalities caused the fashion and culture of that era to be heavily influenced and “pop” oriented.Almost 40 years later, Natalie Silva decided to pay homage those inspirational women by bringing them back to the XXI century in a very personal way, giving them life with her artistic and talented sensibility.This body of work was created in her Ventimiglia studio, (on the northern coast of Italy), and was brought over to Dot Fiftyone especially for this exhibition.This series depicts the relationship between victim and predator and how the pursued slowly morphs into the pursuer.Each girl could be either a gangster or a detective, a mother or a sister, a colleague or a friend, but both their movie star and real life personalities caused the fashion and culture of that era to be heavily influenced and “pop” oriented.Natalie Silva presents images that are so intimate, that they provoke solitariness when observing.Part of the “Girls with guns” series has been shown recently at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, UK.“Girls with guns” will be on display through October 30th at DOT Fiftyone Gallery, 51 N.W.
