KÖNIG GALERIE presents POWER SHIFT a dynamic two-person exhibition featuring the works of Evelyne Axell and Allison Zuckerman in the Nave of St. Agnes.
7 November – 21 December 2024
Curated by Zuckerman, this exhibition explores how feminist art evolves and responds to its time while remaining constant in its messaging. Axell and Zuckerman, though separated by decades, both employ art to challenge and redefine the representation of women. Their works resonate with themes of empowerment, society’s fixation on the fleeting nature of beauty, and the performance of womanhood. Together, they create a rich dialogue exploring the struggle for female autonomy and the complexities of female identities within a male-dominated culture.
The uncanny similarities within both artists’ work – whether in color palettes, thematic imagery, or raw emotional intensity – make this pairing feel almost inevitable. Evelyne Axell and Allison Zuckermann painted at the same age, though separated by 50 years. Their works tell a story of womanhood, complete with honest ups and downs, discoveries, and, most of all, passion. The exhibition is a tour through the impulses of one’s psyche – bringing deep-seated hopes, fears, and dreams into the physical realm.
