Five works: (i)True Rouge Shadow with Profile I; (ii)True Rouge Shadow with Profile II; (iii)True Rouge Shadow with Profile III; (iv) True Rouge Shadow with Profile IV; (v) True Rouge Shadow with Profile V
These five works by Brazilian artist Tunga explore the interplay of shadow, silhouette, and the enigmatic qualities of color, particularly the deep, sensuous resonance of rouge. Each profile in the series builds upon the others, creating a rhythmic visual sequence that investigates the relationship between form and its cast shadow, presence and absence. Tunga's characteristic engagement with myth, the body, and alchemical transformation permeates the works, inviting viewers to consider the thin boundary between a figure and its phantom double.
