Helen Gory Galerie is proud to present a solo exhibition of paintings by Chris Aerfeldt at Melbourne Art Fair 2012.
In Aerfeldt’s paintings, we no longer see the saints and sinners of old. We see everyday women caught in everyday psychodramas. Here in her paintings we find broken romances, wistful dreams and contemporary uncertainties. However, there is no victimhood and no special pleading. Aerfeldt’s women arm themselves with what they have and remain determined and defiant.Aerfeldt’s paintings are compelling and the most compelling thing about them is that they are about women and of women – but not just for women.
