Chloé Lamont

Chloé's work focuses on themes of femininity and

fragility, sexism and sexuality.

The act of painting on ornate baroque frames

serves as an act of defiance against historical

sexism within the art world. Typically, the images

of women that are held within such frames are

that of cowering or vulnerable women who are both

victims of their time and of the ever

preevalent male gaze.

Chloé has just finished her first collection working with resin

to create transparent structures in the shape of

shattered baroque frames. She does this to

subvert the original context of a frame. Rather

than these frames being filled with pristine images

of unrealistic and outdated ideals of what it is

to be a woman, Lamont paints imperfect, abstract

images of naked women to reclaim her own

sexuality, as well as the sexuality of any woman

who has felt boxed in by their own admittance to

enjoying pleasure.
