AMANDA BANKER | Saturday Morning Still Life

Kouri + Corrao Gallery is thrilled to present Amanda Banker’s first solo exhibition “Saturday Morning Still Life”, on view from October 8 to November 19, 2021.

The female characters, which Banker loosely bases on 1920’s tube animation designs, are lewd, sexual and appear bendable and boneless. A new vision of the female nude; one that is no longer weak and demure, but bold and lustful.

Banker’s characters are nestled among realistic items reminiscent of Dutch still life paintings, resulting in a stark dichotomy between the nude and its environment.
