Erwin Olaf  - Mature

January 6 - February 10, 2001

Laurence Miller Gallery is pleased to present "MATURE," the first U.S. one-man show of Dutch artist Erwin Olaf. "MATURE" presents 10 large color photographs of women over the age of sixty, posing in the style of 1950’s pin-up girls.

Cindy C, Isabella R, Claudia S, Jerry H, Christy T…supermodels whose names we see everywhere and who represent glamour, unreachable perfection, the jetset. These are the names Olaf has given these portraits.

Each of these women over 60, posed in bath foam, diaphanous underwear, stiletto heals, are shown in their own emotional mood, whether it be seductive, amused, passionate, excited. These amusing portraits question our predetermined notions of female sexuality, aging, and representations of the flesh.
