Canadian artist Ambera Wellmann is one of our highlights from Art Basel Hong Kong, which runs until 31 March. She is showing this new painting with Berlin gallery Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler (K-T Z). As she explained in an interview with Elephant this January, “I am searching for ways to pictorially structure female desire, an endeavour that almost always coincides with an internalized male gaze—so there is rarely a singular sense of a body or self in the paintings. There is distortion, mirroring and, as much as the bodies appear lost in erotic acts, there is an awareness that they perform for the viewer as well.”
