“A few years back, artist Corri-Lynn Tetz’s brother gave her an unusual gift. It was a bag full of men’s magazines — including Penthouses and Playboys — that had been discarded at a Salvation Army drop bin. Presumably, Tetz’s brother knew what he was doing. His sister’s work had long been informed by the female form and she had often sought out old pictures of hippie or nudist colonies as starting points for her art. So this bag of old men’s mags was a goldmine”.

“Corri-Lynn Tetz works as a painter, focusing on the female figure as a way to explore identity, sensation and desire. Borrowing from personal archives, fashion photography, film and pornography, she is interested in the ways images and meaning are transformed through painting and how this process disrupts notions of the gaze to re-imagine pictorial space”.
