CARINE BOVEY

ABOUT

Neo-feminist artist Carine Bovey explores the themes of femininity, sensuality and movement through the eyes of a young woman today, a point of view which is not dissimilar to that of a man facing sensuality and the body. Often playing with various blurring effects, sometimes resembling the filters used by influencers on Instagram, the images created by Bovey seem to belong to another reality, one of intimacy and fantasies. Bovey’s paintings, composed in pop or surreal tones, identify contemporary male or female figures, parts of the anatomy or ambiguous floral motifs and reveal the artist’s feminist tendencies: joyful, full of hope, celebrating love and freedom. They equally aspire to break the taboos that still exist around the woman’s body and her sexuality.
