Description
Fantasy Violation bridges the gap between classical art and contemporary culture. The floral designs in this piece are laser cut and adhered to the oil painting, representing a cross between western artistic historical traditions and contemporary culture and creation. This piece references the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. The male directors’ approach to excessively depicting rape within the series is rooted in an inherent misogyny that aims to desensitize viewers to acts of rape, and create for more opportunities for female actresses to be nude on screen. The dragon shown in Fantasy Violation is not only derived from Game of Thrones, but is also named after a rapist in the story.
