Cindy Sherman

Throughout her artistic career, Sherman has addressed and manipulated images of women, inventing new kinds of imagery that, in an exceptionally original way, tell stories about the female in society. This originality lies essentially in her ability to create a wide range of characters with the help of make-up and prostheses, using her own body as a raw material and a support, characters that she fixes and transfers in her photographs. Each picture suggests a certain kind of action, implying that something is about to take place or has just happened. Her transformative body is both painting and sculpture, anchored in a social reality.
