Artist Pushes The Boundary With Pantyhose Exhibit In Newtown

NEWTOWN BOROUGH, PA — In a groundbreaking exploration of artistic expression, emergent

artist Lucine Kaplan will unveil a captivating solo show, pushing the boundaries of traditional portraiture and subject.

Titled "A Decade of Pantyhose," the unique exhibition will showcase the artist's innovative use of the much-maligned pantyhose as a medium for creating a stunning body of work.

With meticulous attention to detail, Lucine intricately weaves and manipulates the delicate fabric, unravels its hidden potential, and creates captivating portraits that capture the essence of their subjects. The use of pantyhose allows for a unique interplay of light, texture, and dimension, resulting in portraits that are both visually striking and emotionally engaging.

“This work by nature, requires myself as the maker and the audience viewing to stretch beyond our own limited beliefs and illusions. Letting go of what we’ve been conditioned to believe 'should' be. Breaking barriers and ripping seams is a lifestyle. It’s a mentality of expansion. This is how we evolve” said Lucine.

"A Decade of Pantyhose" promises to take viewers on a thought-provoking journey that challenges traditional notions of beauty, vulnerability, and identity. Through her unconventional choice of medium, Lucine prompts viewers to question societal expectations and embrace the beauty found in unconventional materials.

An opening reception will take place on July 14 from 6 to 9 p.m. at ArtWRKD Exhibition Space in Historic Newtown Borough at 128 South State Street. The exhibition will run through July 24. Attendees can expect an immersive experience as they explore each mesmerizing portrait and connect with the thought-provoking narratives they convey.
