Carri Skoczek "Las Matadoras"
Causey Contemporary
This event has ended.
Matadoras, the second of the December solo exhibitions at Causey Contemporary features the intricately drawn portraits of female toreros or bull fighters by Carri Skoczek. Like Elise Freda, this exhibition marks Carri's third solo show with the gallery. While still based on the theme of strong women, Ms. Skoczek's portraits in printer's ink and pearl powders take quite a departure from her previous depictions of pin up girls and fashion plates Ms. Skoczek's paintings capture both the determination of these women toreros and their brilliant costumes or traje de luces as they are known. While their sport might be controversial, the strength and courage of these women is what Carri strives to capture in her portrayals.
