Elke Silvia Krystufek brazenly exhibits her own body. Launching her career as an artist in the early 1990s, the artist cultivates an image as an enfant terrible. Wrestling with the twin urges of narcissism and voyeurism, her works feature her as an artificial character or share highly intimate glimpses of her private life with the public. In this act of painterly exposure, Krystufek seeks to recapture the female nude as a medium of self-determination. It lets her be all in one: both active observer and passive image. As the artist herself feasts our eyes on her naked body, she disrupts the male regime of the gaze.
