MARGARETHA

'Margaretha' (2013)
119x87x11cm

In a new series of femmes fatales this is Margaretha or to be precise: Margaretha 'Griet' Zelle aka Mata Hari. Based upon a handcolored photograph from about 1900 when Mata Hari was in her prime as an exotic/erotic artist.

The series femmes fatales focuses on the 'blurry' world of eroticism and (political) power.
The resulting pixel-sculptures seem to represent the classic pin-up rather then the specific historical persons.
