Item description
A photograph of the upper half of a feminine mannequin hanging on a white wall. It is covered in colorful, abstract painted designs. A sash of green, blue, orange, and purple crosses from the left shoulder to the right side of the torso, passing between the center of the breasts. The left breast is painted as a wide-open eyeball with a light blue iris. The right breast is painted black, with small red squares circling a light blue nipple. Other designs on the mannequin include a black and white checkerboard topped with a red kiss, a cluster of leaves in hues of green, and some pink, purple, and blue flowers.

Femme Unique Mannequin Wall Art Series 4

Angela Swanson

All of my entries are from a series I completed during Covid to present called Femme Unique . They are a series of mannequin wall art that after working extensively with paint and other mixed media, I’ve ventured into sculpture for this series after discovering how great mannequins are as a canvas. Every work celebrates the inner power and diverse beauty of women—by using a mannequin form, I aim to celebrate the beauty of every woman, not just one individual. While I made the works as a celebration, I don’t want the celebration to end with the completion of the artwork. Each unique mannequin brings its own energy—and that energy will therefore be in any room the mannequin lives in. Hopefully, if you're looking at one of the mannequins, you're also sensing their authentic female energy. And, maybe best of all, if there's not a woman in the room, there will still be powerful female energy and beauty if one of the mannequins is present, in addition to a dynamic conversation starter.
