Marjorie Strider exhibition at Albemarle Gallery, London until May 28th

From the website:

   'Overlooked until relatively recently, Women Pop Artists are currently experiencing a well-deserved renaissance. Marjorie Strider is one of the most important women artists of this movement whose work is now being looked at again.

   She participated in the highly acclaimed touring exhibition, Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists 1958-1968 from January 2010 to April 2011, which received rave reviews. The exhibition was organised by the Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, University of the Arts, Philadelphia and curated by its exhibitions director Sid Sachs. A hardback book of the same title accompanied the exhibition published by Abbeville Press, New York.

   Exhibiting throughout May at Albemarle Gallery, Strider brings a new vibrant body of work to a London audience for the first time in her artistic career. The themes of feminine beauty and the girly pin-up, male obsessions and the objectification of women are playfully juxtaposed in her recent work. Her exquisite use and understanding of colour and composition, occasionally veering towards abstraction, firmly sets her among her Pop Art male counterparts, Roy Lichtenstein, Tom Wesselmann and Andy Warhol.'

In the Swim, 2010, acrylic on canvas, 60"x80"
