Meet Matriarchal Surrealist Palmer Earl

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:47:46 GMT

Palmer Earl’s lush and finely wrought paintings proceed with a matriarchal surrealism that hearkens to the past in order to reimagine the future. Each of her complex and symbol-rich tableaux references visual styles and languages of symbolism across art historical and folkloric traditions, especially the magic, mystery, and creeping misogyny of the late Medieval and Renaissance eras. Influenced by the opulent mannerisms of illuminated manuscripts, but increasingly frustrated at the suppression of women that followed Europe’s conversion to a male-dominated monotheistic religion, Earl looks further back for iconography with the power to inform a radical shift in perspective. Serpents (of course), symbols of fertility and motherhood, icons of incantation and power. What if, she posits in her bright, beguiling paintings, women had been viewed as equals in society this whole time? How very different might things be—and how much more interesting!Palmer Earl: Snake Mother, Acrylic and gold...
