Julia Colmenares & Zoe Simon @ Hundred Years Gallery

‘Salamanca’ is a joint exhibition by fine artist Julia Colmenares and performance artist Zoe Simon bringing together paintings, print, film and performance.
The title ‘Salomania’ refers to the 20th century stereotype of the Femme Fatale embodied in the film noir classics of early cinema. Both artists are concerned with finding visual narratives – or at least settings – for female characters who – although exerting a deep fascination for the viewer – are most usually seen as objects of pure fantasy, existing as a vessel for the viewer’s own desires and fantasies.
