Flora Temnouche
A Room of One's Own
Megan MulrooneyMegan Mulrooney is pleased to present A Room of One's Own, our second exhibition with Berlin and Paris-based painter Flora Temnouche. Temnouche's paintings return to her apartment-studio, building on the atmosphere of solitude and contemplation that characterized her previous exhibition with the gallery. In A Room of One's Own, though, the terms of looking have shifted. Where her earlier work moved outward toward the fragments of a shared domestic world, these paintings turn inward, toward the self and the problem of its representation. The paintings in this exhibition are as much self-portraits of her own form as they are of her own space, and they circle a question of self-determination in self-portraiture: how much of oneself can be shown, and how much must be withheld?
