About the Item
Tolliver Shaw’s thoughtful renderings depict her interpretations of the female figures and the social interactions that center her life. The paintings can be read initially as portraits. Yet, they are layered with objects and words in their abstracted backgrounds, which are rich with kitsch and ephemera. In "Pearl with Apple," the artist’s sister is the primary subject. She is surrounded by ephemera: a bag, a coat, a candle and again cherries. Tolliver Shaw’s life-size portraits are not whole without her decisive iconography developed in the backgrounds. To look only at the figure, is to read a biography without the footnotes. Her explorations elaborate on the narratives in and around each person. The artist asserts that she seeks “to make a modern still-life” that can be interpreted as a Wunderkammer or a Cabinet of Curiosities, in which objects can be collected and displayed to relay a narrative.

Josie Tolliver Shaw
Josie Tolliver shaw paints confrontational portraits with the intention of reclaiming female sociability through my female gaze. In the history of painting, women have been depicted almost entirely by men from a physical and intellectual distance. She paints women she knows well, in environments that are products of her imagination, but reference environments that have made impressions on her. As a woman painting women close to her, Shaw's work offers a corrective by closing that distance. She uses scenic painting to create a matriarchal utopia and portray the integrity of female relationships. Harnessing her perspective as a lesbian woman and sharing that point of view with the viewer through scenic portraiture. Shaw's use of ornamentation, bright colors, and female sociability purvey an alternative narrative to the viewer, one that is rid of patriarchal standards.
