Annie Duncan

Annie Duncan (b. 1997) paints saturated and distorted still-lifes of flowers and shells paired with contemporary objects such as razors, an eyelash comb, or other beauty products in domestic, everyday settings. She explores the symbolic meaning of artifacts that allude to ideals of femininity and sexuality. Duncan’s recent work “Exquisite Corpse” is an ambitious triptych that depicts idealized bodies in interiors and further engages the critique of the objectification of the female body in a consumerist society.
