Reisha Perlmutter: undercurrents
Residing and working in Brooklyn, Perlmutter has shown at some of the most prestigious galleries in New York and the Hamptons including Allouche Gallery and Roman Fine Art respectively. Since graduating from The New York Academy of Art in 2015 her traction and exhibitions have been beyond prolific. Fort Works Art welcomes artist Reisha Perlmutter to Fort Worth for our Fall Gallery Night exhibition, Undercurrents. Coming off of her recent nationally acclaimed show in New York entitled “King Woman”, an all-female show curated by Mashonda Tifrere, it is an honor to showcase her work in her first Solo Exhibition with the gallery.
EXHIBITION DATES: August 29, 2018 - October 13, 2018
Reisha Perlmutter’s works are charged with the role femininity plays in our society and the undercurrents that exist within this content and conversation. The female form, whether in her water filled worlds or coated in mud, capture moments of purity and freedom for the subject and reflect upon their feelings on their bodies. There is a self-realization of the changing, transitioning and searching women go through in their journey for self- acceptance. The water offers the opportunity of examination, while the mud coating brings a contradictory clarity to the female form.
