Peter Stauss’ paintings recreate fables of our times. Deriving imagery from a cross-section of ideological, historical, religious and art-historical sources, his work combines essential philosophical themes with questions about the genesis of form in painting and sculpture. A recurring cast of characters has populated his canvases over the years.
Rele Gallery in Lagos, Nigeria is currently showing Her Story, an exhibition comprised of five female artists that contributes to the developing narrative of women, as both an individual experience and a social concept. Ayobola Kekere-Ekun, Oluchi Zọtam, Queen Nwaneri, Buki M. Animashaun, and Haneefah Adam each voice their female experience through art to communicate a response to the social and political circumstances that women live in, as well as to deepen their and our understanding of Women from a woman’s point of view.
