The paintings of Lorin Hesse certainly harken back to a different time. For some, these images might represent a pleasant and comforting nostalgia, and for others they might seem degrading. Whatever these images make you feel, they seem to force questions, inciting an internal dialogue about your culture's past, especially in regards to modern history's idea of womanhood.
This from Lorin Hesse's site:
"Effectively, it is the media that has nurtured recent generations. Believing this, I seek out that which feels nostalgic and that which evidences the evolution of the communication of women's sexual personification. The dinosaurs of truth fascinate me: written and oral epistemologies of female beauty and sexuality. This series reflects, in part, that seeking."
