Funglode presents Paula Saneaux’s Ellas show

Santo Domingo. The Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (Funglode) presented the exhibition “Ellas”, a series of the artist Paula Saneaux, with her particular use of the monochromatic and her figurative and realistic style.

According to the poet and art critic Jonathan Goodman, “the artist objectively describes the body in poses that remind us of art’s history, but this time there is something new: an objectivity that sustains the models’ dignity even as they show us themselves in a state of undress.”

He adds “Saneaux is a contemporary artist who has decided to interpret the history of the nude on her own terms. Her independence pushes her paintings in the direction of feminism; however, she declines from an overt presentation of sexual politics.” Saneaux graduated from Parsons The New School of Design in New York and Altos de Chavon School of Design. She has been recognized in competitions and has received awards and grants such as The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant from Canada, a mention in II Biennial of Candido Bido Museum and has participated in the XXI Eduardo León Jimenes Biennial.
