Galleri Urbane proudly announces the opening of Forrest Solis’s Self and Sex Series: What A Young Woman Ought To Know, a solo exhibition on view from February 18th through March 24th.
Solis’s paintings contain a fragmented canvas, juxtaposing lessons from early 20th century storybooks next to realistically rendered images of adult women performing daily tasks. The storybook lessons often brink on the absurd, giving advice such as that tight clothing creates kidney difficulty. However, these teachings are distinctly reminiscent of instructions given to children everywhere on why they should or shouldn’t do certain things, giving the sense of the uncanny to the observer.
