Ghada Amer has been committed to exploring issues surrounding women– the politics of their representation and their cross cultural perception. Amer’s wide-ranging, daring art practice that spans over three decades, works across many media including painting, installation and sculpture. Many works in Amer’s oeuvre begin with female nude images appropriated from pornographic magazines. While typically viewed as a vehicle for male pleasure, Amer’s works transform them into emblems of women in states of euphoria, ecstasy, and liberation.
