A swirling, expressionistic composition rendered in acrylic and oil on canvas, this work by Rita Ackermann pulses with raw, gestural energy characteristic of her late 1990s output. Fierce yet dreamlike imagery merges animalistic power with fragmented feminine iconography, layered beneath a bold, brooding palette of deep reds and purples. The title's playful tension between vulnerability and ferocity reflects Ackermann's ongoing exploration of identity, mythology, and the charged spaces between beauty and aggression.
