LIZ NOBLE
My paintings are commentary and satire of stereotypically feminine beautification and adornment rituals, eating rituals, and domestic rituals. The work explores many aspects of femininity from sensuality, to confidence, to insecurity. The idea of changing the body's appearance, for whatever reason it may be, intrigues me. I explore traditional gender roles, body manipulation, and stereotypes through dress patterns applied to the canvas, color palette, and various other media. The work also considers women's relationships with food, how women feel about food, verses how we are supposed to feel about food, verses how we are basically taught to feel about food by way of mass media. Eating and not eating are ways in which one can also change the body's appearance and functionality. The dress patterns become even more powerful when juxtaposed with imagery of food and the figure, directly referencing size, control, and form. Finally, my work also challenges what it is to be domestic, exploring the contemporary female homemaker while juxtaposing solitaire female figures with various domestic appliances. Referencing everything from makeup ad color schemes, to fictional heroines, to religious saints, my paintings, though empathetic, expose the private rituals that women of the Western world engage in at one time or another.
