Nancy Spero - Serpetine Gallery 3 March - 2 May 2011

Nancy Spero
Female Bomb 1966n

Nancy Spero. Protests made through drawings and prints. I thought the works were very repetitive, the quality of the drawings were almost the same in each one, which it is not a bad thing but it was kind of boring after being in the exhibition for a while. What I really enjoyed from this exhibition was the way that the drawings were displayed onto the wall, like a big protest banner and the quality and oakcolour of the frames. All the pieces worked really well together, I enjoyed the colourful drawings and its lively but also painful expression. Taking into account the quality of Nancy Spero's work she appeared to be a very passionate female artist that she used her art as a political statement against war, male dominance and abuses of power.
