As part of our ‘Body Language’ exhibition this autumn, we are presenting a series of digital sculptures by artist Charlotte Colbert. Language, psychoanalysis and socio-political constructions of gender and identity are at the heart of Colbert’s practice. Her multi-part video piece, Benefits Supervisor Breathing, 2017 (pictured below) confronts the viewer with a re-take on one of the most recognisable nude paintings made in post-war Britain. Freud’s nude of the same title, painted in 1995, depicts Sue Tilley asleep on a sofa in his studio.
