‘How Do I Make You Feel?’Solo Art Exhibition by Michelle Baharier

 

 

 

I have been busily preparing for my exciting upcoming solo show at the Foundry.I will be exhibiting new work, which includes portraits of disability activists, campaigners and freedom fighters. I will also be showing the Walkie Talkies, my digital collages exploring the challenges, necessity and contradictions of bus travel most notably on the now decommissioned Routemaster buses.

Below is my interview with Sue Elsegood, part 10 of the Walkie Talkies. If you follow me on Instragram, you’d know that I’m currently painting her portrait.

The work I am presenting focuses on grief mixed with rituals and sexism. We spend a lot of life going though different emotional states, grief is one of mine. I experienced loss of family and friends at a young age, bereavement was ever present. The saying you are born to die, has always been there.

At the same time being a woman- means being ornamental, with a smile on your face, and being able to have this amazing Colgate smile is apparently much more important than expressing a view, displaying your intellectual prowess, or being allowed to control your own facial expressions that actually relate to your emotions.

 

 

 

Not to be missed!..
