Francesca Dimattio: Caryatid

13 Sep-19 Oct 2019

Pippy Houldsworth Gallery
London W1B 4BT

Overview

Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is delighted to present Francesca DiMattio's Caryatid, the artist’s third solo exhibition at the gallery, running from 13 September to 19 October 2019. The exhibition comprising a series of new large-scale porcelain sculptures is titled Caryatid after the sculpted female figures used as supporting columns in ancient Greek architecture. These sculptures engage critically with women's traditional role of support within the domestic sphere and serve to highlight the strength drawn from femininity.
