ISABEL CASTILLO GUIJARRO
Tolouse Lautrec’s Woman (2009)
Acrylic on brown paper. Human size
Dubai, UAE.
As an exercise for class we needed to imitate other artist. This painting opened a huge debate on my school of wether or not should be displayed. Living in a muslim country means the school had to follow certain rules and traditions of the country and showing a woman not fully dressed can cause problems. After talking to the head of the department and even with complains from other students, it was displayed in the university.
