WONDER WOMEN 2000-2001

Evelyn
Hartogh is
primarily a performance
artist who
appears on stage and in the media,
and a writer of scripts
and
articles,
although she is also skilled at illustration and a range of fine art
mediums. She has created works in pencil, pastel, water
colours, oil paints and pen and ink. Her fine art primarily
takes the form of portraiture of herself and other local performers.

Fine Art.

She
has an interest in the divide between image and identity. Her
performance
characters and,
in particular, her performance
publicity
photos,
are
consciously contrived to differ from her current day-to-day look.
By using these photos as the starting place for fine artworks she
attempts to further distance the imagery from her own appearance.

Her
portraits attempt to ask questions about what is the authentic self
and also play with the notion of artistic license as she works to
further change her appearance in painting or illustration. Her
publicity photos and media
appearances also
play on this notion of the distortion of identity.
