Syd Glasser “Perfect Models”
chashama Window Space (266 W 37th St. )
This event has ended.
Perfect Models is a preview exhibition of Syd Glasser’s latest series of life-sized, mixed media portraits of women. Working from carefully selected live models and photographs, the imagery is suggestive of the issues facing women today and celebrates their strength and life stories.
We are our stories. For better or for worse ghosts of our past define and make us who we are. Our bodies show proof of our battles through scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks. Despite the wear and tear our bodies grow through, society demands a level of beauty and ladylike docility from women. Though times have changed considerably, life for men and women is still different, and at times it seems a double standard for behavior sits and thick as a wall between the two sexes. The portraits of women in this exhibition preview a larger, still in progress body of work that pays tribute to bold and brazen women who have refused to confine themselves to societal gender constraints.
