Ever the master of disguise, Cindy Sherman offers a persuasive and provocative exploration into the construction of identity, representation and the self in Untitled #132, 1984. The current image is emblematic of her work throughout the late 1980s, which pushed boundaries of comfort both for the artist and viewer through the use of bright, fluorescent lighting, and unsettling, contrasting colors.
Cindy Sherman's art is definitively postmodern. Each image is constructed around a photographic depiction of a woman; a woman that Sherman herself embodies, simultaneously artist and model, transformed, chameleon-like, into a glossary of pose, gesture and facial expression.
