conner/*gogo art projects is very pleased to present Victoria F. Gaitán's first solo exhibition with the gallery: "Scenes of Mild Peril." The exhibition features a selection of exquisite color photographs of women by the DC-based, Australian-born artist. Gaitán scrutinizes gender stereotypes through the lens of physical beauty in flesh and blood still lifes. "Pelt" alluringly displays a woman's face cradled by horns, surrounded by luxurious fur, and propped upon a wolf's head. The seductive surfaces invite us to wonder what sense of self lies beneath them. Is the woman a predator or a trophy? Gaitán balances powerful tensions between social categories and self-knowledge in each of her works, which she describes as "calling cards from my explorations of internal worlds."

There will be an opening night reception, Saturday, November 5th from 6 to 8pm.
Artist in attendance.
