Art and Sexualization

A conversation with Virgoarthoe

I mainly paint the female body because I am uncomfortable with my own for multitude of reasons like childhood experiences , learned perspectives and ongoing battles I have with my own body and body dysmorphia, and one of the ways I best tap into that is by painting the body itself , that is the truest form of my vulnerability and just putting that on paper or on canvas.

I am aware that the work could be interpreted differently because with my posts I don’t really have captions or speak about the work in detail because I believe that leaves the viewer to question what it’s all about outside of it being just a naked body that is sexual .The art
I make of naked women I don’t sell it because I don’t know how the consumer will consume or view the work , I wouldn’t want to participate in women being objectified but I paint it because it’s a matter of representation because I believe black women should be represented in their truest form . Representation of black women is important but who represents black women is even more important , being a black woman painting the black body is celebrating other black women
