Christina Antemann

Chris Antemann is known for porcelain tableaux reflective of her study of 18th century European decorative arts. Early in her career she made a few functional vessel forms.

It was her study of 18th century porcelain figurines the Meissen porcelain modelerJohann Joachim K䮤ler and rococo paintings by Antoine Watteau, Jean-Honor順ragonard and Fran篩s Boucher that led her to the work she is best known for. In contrast to her European influences, Antemann relies on literal representation rather than coy suggestion. Her work explores gender roles, androgyny and the seamier side of upstairs?downstairs social interactions. Women are presented in varying levels of dress and the men are naked.
