Regen Projects is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings, photographs, and a video work by New York-based artist, Marilyn Minter. This marks her third solo presentation at the gallery. In this exhibition Minter turns her attention to the art historical trope of the bather. Poised between abstraction and figuration, a series of large-scale paintings are meticulously constructed using many layers of enamel paint. Slowly built up layer-by-layer, their sensuous surfaces are finished with the fingertip to eliminate traces of brushstrokes, resulting in a softened, tactile quality. In these works, as well as in the photographs, Minter challenges the problematic treatment of women in art, depicting her subjects as empowered objects of desire. Depicted behind a pane of steamy glass, the opaque abstracted surface simultaneously hides and reveals Minter’s subjects. The exhibition will also premiere a video work entitled My Cuntry ‘Tis of Thee, which features women writing variations of the word “CUNT” in steam. Through the act of reclaiming and examining the charged word they invoke a political call to arms — which allows their previously hidden figures to be rendered visible through the abstracted surface of the frosty glass plane.
