If “an artist is not a man who describes, but a man who feels”, as claimed by the poet and painter E.E. Cummings, then it can be understood that the intricacies unique to female identity and perception give rise to an immense field of art deserving of the utmost earnest attention. Neo-Perception embraces and confronts the imagery and language unique to art that reflects the diversity in women’s experiences and approaches to their identity, apart from exploring other themes on humanity. Art at any time period sees artists seeking their own voice as a fundamental pursuit; as a contemporary art exhibition, we witness the range of mediums that allow artists to express a variety of themes, including identity, sexuality, gender, mortality, relationships, and social dynamics.
