Alannah Sears - The Deity to My Womanhood

Alannah Sears is a Brooklyn-based artist who received her BFA from SUNY Purchase, and is now investigating the complexities of the female experience through delicate graphite drawings. Her work challenges traditional representations of the female form, creating figures that defy gravity and conventional notions of beauty. These figures contort, elongate, squeeze, and fold in uncanny or impossible ways, embodying an ethereal beauty through the delicate interplay of light and shadow. She has exhibited her work at CUE Art Foundation, and Paradise Palace, and has been awarded residencies at the Joan Mitchell Center, Joan Mitchell Foundation (NY), and Vermont Studio Center.

"This piece came from the recent shift of mindset I had in the past year, to embody my unique feminine energy and to have fun with my art practice. I wanted to make something more than a portrait or another image of a naked women, something that made the viewer and I feel something, to connect to. The figure is ambiguous in multiple aspects, her stance, her expression, and her hair texture; however, there is one thing that is obvious : her power."
