Publisher's Synopsis
This book is about feminist, social and political art by Kyra Belan and a record of her solo exhibition at Ceres Gallery, New York. Her works include paintings, drawings in colored pencils, textual and mixed media. Created in contemporary realist or surreal styles these artworks express her feminist, political and ecological concerns, and her interpretations of symbols, legends and myths that are relevant to women. They convey multiple layers of messages that are accessible and relevant to the observers. The two main Series featured in this solo exhibition are her ongoing Lady Liberty and the Amazing Women.
