Artist Biography: Since the 1970's, Dotty Attie's multi-panel compositions have explored gender identity, politics, and culture through the re-imagining of well-known paintings and photography. She re-presents images from vintage photographs, movie stills, and contemporary photographs on square canvases meticulously painted in her signature palette of black, white, and grey with touches of flesh and rouge. Interspersed with panels of text, Attie's works suggest an alternative reality to the constructed version we are so accustomed to through television and film.
