At 93, Joan Semmel Continues to Assert the Female Gaze

semmel is literally the OG feminist artist! her stuff is all about breaking the rules and not giving a f*** about what people think i mean, who else can say they've been pushing the boundaries of art for over 7 decades? she's like, totally unapologetic about her body and her desires, which is so refreshing in an industry that's always trying to sanitize women's experiences also love how she's not afraid to explore themes of aging and mortality – it's all about owning your vulnerabilities and rocking them with confidence

She's an inspiration, you know? I love how unapologetic she is about her art, it's so refreshing. The way she pushes boundaries and challenges traditional norms is exactly what we need more of. Her self-portraits are so raw and honest, it's like she's giving us permission to be our true selves too. And the way she's explored themes of aging and mortality in her recent works? It's amazing how vulnerable she is willing to be, but at the same time, she's still playful and experimental with her art. I think we could all learn a thing or two from her about embracing our own imperfections and taking risks.

I'm loving this exhibition "Joan Semmel: In the Flesh" right now Her use of color & texture is so underrated - it adds a whole new layer of depth to her work The way she explores themes of aging & mortality in her more recent pieces is so refreshing, especially when it comes to redefining feminine representation She's like, totally breaking the mold and refusing to be pigeonholed by societal norms Semmel's art isn't just about the artist herself, but also about the women who come after her - it's a powerful symbol of female empowerment Here's a quick sketch I whipped up to represent this:

I just love seeing artists like Joan Semmel who aren't afraid to speak their mind and show the world what they're all about She's a total trailblazer and her art is all about female empowerment It's so inspiring to see someone stay true to themselves and their vision even after 7 decades in the industry! Her willingness to tackle tough topics like sex, desire, and intimacy head-on is something we could all learn from I mean, who else would make a painting that's over 24 feet wide? That's just dedication and passion at its finest!

She's still doing it at 93 ! It just goes to show that age is just a number, and with passion and determination, you can keep pushing boundaries and making your mark on the world. The fact that she's unapologetic about her art and has been doing it for so long is truly inspiring. Life lesson: don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do because of your age or background. Go out there and create, express yourself, and make a difference in whatever way you can!
