Plastic Venus

$3,500.00

Original oil painting on gallery-wrapped canvas.

Gloss varnish finish. Signed and dated (2019).

Size: 24 × 36 in

A study of the body as surface, construction, and spectacle.

Rendered in saturated primaries with a polished finish, the figure appears exaggerated and sculptural. Smooth planes and heightened proportions reference fashion imagery, cosmetic enhancement, and the aesthetics of visibility within contemporary culture.

The painting presents an image rather than a person, something engineered, maintained, and displayed with precision. The work observes this condition directly, without sentimentality or judgment.

Original work. One of a kind.

Joli: A Stranger in a Strange Land

Joli’s work is record. A visual leak from a reality where Matriarchy is the underlying architecture of existence.

These paintings are artifacts — fragments from a parallel world carried into this one. A world where power is feminine, ancient, and self-defining.

JOLI WORKS IN THE VISUAL LANGUAGE HISTORICALLY USED TO CONSTRUCT AUTHORITY: FORMAL PORTRAITURE, IMPERIAL COMPOSITION, THE CLASSICAL GRAMMAR THAT DECLARES PERMANENCE, HIERARCHY, AND CONTROL. She KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THOSE TOOLS WERE BUILT TO DO and she USES THEM TO SHOW SOMETHING ELSE.

Across cultures, the visual language of power has always been legible: the posture, the framing, the weight of the gaze, the quiet assumption that the viewer is male. What changes here is the foundation beneath it.

IN THE WORLD THESE WORKS COME FROM, THERE IS NO STRUGGLE FOR VISIBILITY. THE CENTER HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MOTHER. POWER DOES NOT NEED TO BE CLAIMED, JUSTIFIED, OR MAINTAINED THROUGH ILLUSION. IT IS INHERENT.

WHAT IS UNSEEN HERE IS NOT HIDDEN THERE. YOU ARE NOT BEING SHOWN WHAT COULD BE. YOU ARE BEING SHOWN WHAT ALREADY IS.
