For many artists, it would be hard to compete with the sensationalism of Sherry Wiggins’ photography work, but Ann Marie Auricchio holds her own.
Artist Sherry Wiggins re-envisions herself as the classic figure Sappho. She conceives the images and photographer Luis Filipe Branco shoots the photos. Artist Sherry Wiggins explores contemporary interpretations of classic figures using her own body as a canvas. This is her take on Aphrodite.
The images are, as so many of Wiggins’ objects that have appeared in galleries and on social media, captivating at every level. And just to add a few more adjectives: brave, timely, smart and very self-indulgent. Wiggins dreams up these scenarios and gives them everything she’s got. There is a deflated romanticism about the photos that makes them endearing. These characters are big and sincere, and surely glorified. They surround themselves with roses and wear fancy gowns and crowns. But they do suffer tremendously in the way that classic literature demands.
Is she an actress? It is hard to tell when we do not see her actually act, or move. Is she a model? That would remove her own agency over the pictures. In some ways, they pay homage to old-school abstract expressionism. The gestures appear to be big and exaggerated. Deciphering their subject matter is not so easy, and they look, at first glance, like landscapes.But the closer you get, the more precise Auricchio’s marks appear. She is not simply throwing paint at a canvas in a wild rage. Rather, she is deliberately applying colors in a way that creates sharp, crisp lines and deliberate fields of color.
