It Hurts with a Scissor
1974 - 1976
“My paintings are about women - about illusions women have of themselves.” (Kogelnik)
In the lt Hurts series, women go about their pantomime unaware of the threatening tools that Kiki Kogelnik integrates into her compositions constructed with the imagery conveyed by women's magazines. The artificiality of this feminine ideal is underscored here by a full-length portrait with the stereotypical movements of a mannequin, its anonymity being heightened by a masked face. The artist includes a pair of scissors, an essential tool of her art, which becomes a feminist declaration by association, an assertion of female power.
