In the context of her recent commission for our public project A Temporary Monument for Brussels, Sarah Margnetti painted a series of small panels in oil paint, each with a yellow nose on an imitation wooden base. These small paintings bring together both Margnetti\u2019s signature fragmentation of the human body as well as an optical illusion of matriality.<\/p>\n
In her trompe l’oeil painting of the wood, Margnetti plays with the knots in wood that look like eyes. These are each time paired with one nose, painted in a distinct yellow \u2013 refering to the generic skin colour of the original yellow emoticon. The noses Margnetti painted belong to a people she finds inspirational, and belong to famous artists such as John Baldessari, Judy Chicago or Kiki Kogelnik \u2013 with whom she had an amazing exhibition at Salts, Basel \u2013 but also writer-poet Kathy Acker and several close artist-friends of Sarah Margnetti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
