Vivienne Shark LeWitt

‘If the shoe doesn’t fit, must we change the foot?’, 2008

Vivienne Shark LeWitt’s meticulous figurative compositions are painted in a restrained style that is the perfect vehicle for her satirical subjects. The references in the works are derived from popular culture, religious and mythological iconography, modern literature and art theory, but they are always portrayed in personal terms.
