SENS Gallery is pleased to announce “Shaping the Invisible”, an exhibition that will feature works by Canadian artist Emily Pope. The exhibition will take place from 16 December 2023 to 20 January 2024. This exhibition will mark Emily Pope’s first solo exhibition with SENS Gallery and in Asia.

‘Shaping the Invisible’ is a collection of work that explores the vulnerability of the human form, forging the palpable veracity of hidden feelings and desires. Pope’s paintings are her perceptions of her own physicality, creating a gaze that challenges the traditional portrayal of the female figure in the art historical canon, engaging the notion towards a contemporary trajectory. Accompanying these self-portraits are inanimate objects, effusing that of a still life image. These elements evoke feelings of discomfort to be felt by the viewer. They exist as a separate entity from the physical nature of the human body, and reflect on the complex relationship that exists between ourselves and the world that surrounds us.
