\"\"<\/a>In contrast to last years\u2019 Artworks of the Month, we didn\u2019t present photography, but paintings and reliefs or sculptural objects. Hereby, the artists are from various countries \u2013 Australia, Switzerland, Peru\/France, France, Italy and England. Due to the different cultural influences, ranges of age and personal experiences, the subjects and techniques were diversified. Four of the chosen artists have been already featured before, two are new at our website.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>January<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Cally Lotz<\/a><\/span>, we started the year with an artist, who concentrates on painting. In contrast to her first Artwork of the Month in January 2019, which was executed in a photorealistic manner, the Australian painter now experimented in \u201cConversation<\/a><\/span>\u201d with a more expressive style.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>February<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, Patricia Jacomella Bonola<\/a><\/span>, already offered an Artwork of the Month in May 2020. It was a video. Corresponding to the large variety of artistic media of the Swiss creative, we have chosen a different technique. \u201cExpiation<\/a><\/span>\u201d is a sculptural object. Despite the seemingly simplicity of the work – an oversized ball of wool – the material, the execution and the references are complex.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>March<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our 100th Artwork of the Month was dedicated to the late Gloria Li Mir<\/a><\/span>. The Peruvian\/French artist was our first featured artist in February 2015. Ten years later, we presented Gloria\u2019s \u201cTabernacle (Self-portrait)<\/a><\/span>\u201d from 1976. It is a shrine, which bears surprises, when opening it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>April<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the exhibition \u201cSexisme p\u00e9pouze\u201d Elyse Galiano<\/a><\/span> created \u201cC\u2019\u00e9tait le bon temps, le sexisme p\u00e9pouze.<\/a><\/span>\u201d (It was the good time, when sexism was easy-going.) Like in her previous works, presented in March 2018 and October 2021 the French artist employed natural hair. Even though her focus is once again on women, this time she did not point to the more domestic environment, but the public sphere.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>May<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new discovery was Manuela Vallicelli<\/a><\/span>. Her painting \u201cBorder<\/a><\/span>\u201d seems to represent a landscape. However, the Italian artist paints out of her inner sources. Therefore, the contemplator might recognise elements, depending on their personal experience. In consequence, the scope of interpretation is large.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>June<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also Poppy De Havilland<\/a><\/span>\u2019s paintings arouse memories. In contrast to Manuela\u2019s sources of inspiration, the young London artist employs history and art history to create new images. For \u201cUnbound<\/a><\/span>\u201d she suspended an androgyne person in space and time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
