Celia Hempton

Celia Hempton’s work explores concepts of voyeurism in the post-digital age. In her paintings, performances and installations, she investigates the blurred lines of comfort and consent; desire and subjugation, visibility and opacity; seeking to deconstruct the ways in which we engage with each other in a rapidly evolving age of hypermediation. Formally, Hempton’s paintings, which range in scale from intimate to lifesize, acknowledge the tropes of history painting and the often subjugated female body. - Galerie Sultana
