① Artwork:
Pangs
In this painting mixed with collage, an airbrushed nude with a disproportionate head becomes a body in direct conversation with the outside world—a channel for dialogue between the figure's internal and external lives. She gazes back at the viewer with both power and vulnerability.

③ Artist:
Stockholm-based artist Zoe Barcza paints larger-than-life airbrushed figures, combining them with elements like collage and painted text. Her humorous and surreal compositions investigate cultural, political and social forces on the human body.
