Catharine Clark Gallery presents “Bell the Cat”, a solo exhibition by Deborah Oropallo. The exhibition will be on view from 7 January to 18 February, 2017.As with her previous exhibition, Guise, Oropallo’s newest work investigates the legacies of gender and power in portraiture. Through compelling use of photomontage, Oropallo juxtaposes figures found in historical paintings with both images from costume catalogues and her own studio photography, layering these seemingly disparate sources into intricate compositions that explore portrayals of gender norms across visual culture.Bell the Cat draws inspiration from fairy tales like Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood as iconic texts that have shaped how we relate to “femininity” in our culture. In conjunction with these unique mixed media works on canvas, Catharine Clark Gallery is pleased to debut Oropallo’s first video work, White as Snow, as a complement to her gallery presentation.The exhibition is showcased at 248 Utah Street, San Francisco, CA - 94103.
