Lopez, Julian (Carlee Fernandez Abstract)

Abstract 

Artist Carlee Fernandez in "Staging the Self" - National Portrait Gallery

The artist, Carlee Fernandez, breaks down the thought process/ reasoning behind her series, Staging the Self.  She describes her art as a bear, both “raw and in your face” as Fernandez stated; she wanted to represent herself as one, wearing a costume to portray that. She explains how “simple gestures” such as facial hair can be identifiers for people and themselves. Seems to tie body hair as masculine though, describing that facial hair is a depiction of machismo/ masculinity; which she further elaborated with the mimicry of her dad's portrait.

The San Jose Museum of Art reports on the exhibitions and places Fernandez’s art traveled to. The blog references a writer from the Los Angeles Times which comments on her art as a whole. This blog also includes the style the artist partakes in, along with an analysis of it all; comments on the merging of animals and humans - the relationship between the two. Also references another person, Marlena Doktorczyk-Donohue, who also comments on her art.
