Marilyn Minter — Shimmer
Marilyn Minter

Shimmer

2023

A 2023-2024 enamel on wood panel by Marilyn Minter, whose practice across photography, painting, and video produces unexpected representations of women that draw from and complicate the visual vernacular of commercial imagery. The lustrous, reflective surface of enamel animates the composition with optical movement, typical of Minter's vocabulary of glamour, excess, and the blurred line between desire and discomfort. The work extends her long investigation of beauty culture and the body as screen for projection.
