Danielle Orchard’s nudes explore the representation of the female body through daily activities which, although domestic, nonetheless acquire the status of intimate 'ceremonies' or ordinary rituals. Through these undressed bodies and recurring scenes of feminine intimacy, the artist further resurrects the question of voyeurism in the history of painting, raised by the classical iconography of ‘Diana at the Bath’ or ‘Susanna and the Elders’, stagings of a forbidden gaze. In a work with Golden Age overtones, @daniorchard’s painting ‘Yellow Bathroom’ presents three figures caught in the intimacy of a bathroom and in the simple banality of everyday gestures. ‘Page Turner’ is on view through October 8 at Perrotin Paris. — @daniorchard #DanielleOrchard #PageTurner #PerrotinParis #Perrotin __ Danielle Orchard, Women’s Work, 2022 Danielle Orchard, Yellow Bathroom, 2002 Danielle Orchard, Tan Lines, 2022 Courtesy of the artist and Perrotin
