About The Artwork

Bleeding Cowboy £470.00 Archival pigment ink print on Somerset Velvet 330gsm paper hand finished with oil pastel with hand-torn deckled edges. 60.5x84.1cm Signed and numbered edition of 80. Each print is hand coloured - therefore each print is unique. Inspired by a Chris Kraus book titled I love Dick and the Menstrala movement. I think the sheer fact of women talking, being, paradoxical, inexplicable, flip, self-destructive but above all else public is the most revolutionary thing in the world. Chris Kraus The beginning of the new millennium was also the beginning of the trend aptly named "Menstrala", which exists in art to this day. Menstrala is an unofficial term that hides a variety of ways to represent menstruation in art. It first appeared as the title of a series of Vanessa Tiegs paintings expressing the affirmation of menstruation and research into the relationship between the menstrual cycle and the cycles that occur in nature, such as lunation (the time interval between one new moon and another). Tiegs' dream for "Menstral's word to become as universal as our cycles" has not yet been fulfilled. 20 years have passed since the artist's first painting was published, and most societies still feel discomfort when the word "period" appears in public discussion.

Marcelina is a UK based contemporary artist working with mixed media approaches to print, painting and drawing. She often draws inspirations from her Polish heritage, looking to religious iconography and folk tales, as well as childhood memories, the power of dreams, spirituality, sexuality, and the human condition. According to her Mum, Marcelina started drawing before she could properly speak. She has been featured in publications including Booooooom, Bomb, Art Maze, Create Magazine, Digital Arts, Vogue, Refinery29, The NY Times, Der Spiegel and Ballad Of Magazine. She exhibits work throughout the UK as well as internationally and was a featured artist of the 2017 edition of the London Illustration fair and led a The Big Draw sketch walk for Apple. Marcelina is also a founder of artbrand Mesh Studio. Marcelina says ‘I like to play at the tense borders between lust and innocence; joy and sadness; fun and pain. My interest in juxtaposition comes from my origins and fascination with East European culture which was eloquently described by Grayson Perry as ‘nowhere else could such horrific grief be met with such fairly-tale romanticism’. ‘I tend to utilise nature as a metaphor for everyday feelings and headaches. My recent work also dwells into themes of self acceptance, body positivity, representations of the female sexuality, gender, migration, and society. Although some of the subjects I take on are often quite dark I like to think that there is some humour and light in my finished artwork.’
