SER SERPAS

UNTITLED, 2021 OIL ON CANVAS 73 × 62 CM Courtesy the artist & Karma international

Through painting, sculpture, drawing, and poetry Ser Serpas mashes bits of her life, both real and imagined, into anti-portraits, some of which she deems fit to share within the contexts of exhibitions and performances. In the past two years, she has taken photos shot on her iPhone during college as source material for intimate views on unstretched canvas, wood panel, and paper. The unique way she reframes the body in tension, in both her sculptural and text-based installations which distort components of our shared architecture, carries into her atypically cropped portions of stolen archetypal intimacy.
