A self-proclaimed “Feminist Surrealist”, the work of London-born, LA-based artist Penny SLINGER combines the mythical qualities of Surrealism with the radical feminism of the 1970s –all underpinned by her long-standing interest in erotica, pleasure and the reclamation of the female body.
Opening to coincide with Mayfair Art Weekend 2019, the exhibition at Richard Saltoun – her first with the gallery – celebrates the artist’s interest and development of Tantric art, featuring collages from the mid-1970s, Xerox body prints, vintage and new photographs created especially for the show.
