Some of the wonderful recent works by Hannah Faith Yata. Her paintings will be part of 111 Minna Gallery's upcoming show “Portraits of Strangers: Someones and Nobodies” in February, 2015.
The artist writes,
The pictures forming in my head are ones of domination over nature, the struggle of animals in a changing world, and the effects of a changing world on the animals and humans. Women became the metaphor for mother nature as wild and sexual thing exploited and explored in my work, and animals became the subjects of examining abnormalities and evolution. Taking ideas that I had learned from ideas on feminism, I began to draw parallels in our ways of controlling and objectifying women to how we also think about the earth and it’s resources therein.
