An exhibition consisting of surrealist art by women, exploring the way female artists created work that challenged peoples views of convention. Twisting the traditional way of representing typical art themes such as landscapes, portraits and still life. Work varies from drawings to sculptures and photographs to collages. Along side famous artists such as Frida Kahlo there were more unusual artists like Dorothea Tanning.
Some of my favorite work was that of Francesca Woodman's with a mixture of fantasy style black and white photographs and a short film showing the ways in which some of her work was produced as well as being a a representation of her work.
Another artist that interested me was Edith Rimmington with only one piece of her work in the exhibition it made a great effect on me, it was more the style of her work that interested me more than the meaning behind it. The way she uses ink and pens and the built up effect made from the simple lines made by them and the selective use of colour.
