About The Artwork
This is the first prototype for a collection based on Gretel's experience with self-harm. It is something Gretel has wanted to explore and share for a while but the timing had never felt right until now. Gretel created this self portrait on a distressed canvas. The aim was to distress the canvas and observe how far the canvas could be dismantled, without the threads entirely giving way. There was a real sense of fragility throughout this process. Thinking closely about the fragility of human life. Discovering the ‘breaking point’ of things is something Gretel has been interested in for as long as she can remember, and it seemed to tie-in perfectly with what she wanted to explore through this portrait. The portrait is a testament to resilience; emotional and physical resilience. Humans can endure and overcome very testing situations; we may walk away with some battle scars, but we grow and we keep moving forward.

Gretel Warner portrays the female nude as a lens into the complexities of womanhood within our fast-paced, social media-centric world. Her mission is to reclaim the iconic representation of the nude, celebrating the female form authentically and candidly without the filters imposed by social media's glare. Drawing inspiration from personal encounters, feelings, and recollections, her emotionally charged paintings often evolve into abstract and dysmorphic forms. Within her practice, Gretel seeks solace from the whirlwind of both digital and physical realms, offering a space for both herself and her audience to pause and reflect. Exploring emotions through a vivid spectrum of colors and alternating between refined and expressive brushwork, she delves into the fluidity of identity and the ever-shifting nature of the human psyche and physique.
