Andrea Mary Marshall’s ‘Toxic Women’

Created as a series of metaphorical self- portraits, NYCbased artist Andrea Mary Marshall’s newest exhibition ‘Toxic Women’ at Allegra LaViola Gallery explores the wildly contradictory roles of women. Through the personalscope of the feminine experience, Marshall appropriates the format of fashionmagazines to create a series of 100 ‘Vague’ covers. Each ‘cover’ focuses onportraiture that examines both the repulsion and attraction of popular cultureand the role of women within this cyclical landscape. With stinging commentaryon society and a subversive blend of religious iconography and starlets, thework succeeds as both a painful reminder of the destructive nature of modernculture and an intriguing personal meditation on its effects on women.
