In the vein of such forebears as Christina Ramberg and Kiki Kogelnik, the body operates as a sign; one to which Braunig applies various pressures to fully understand its social significance. In her canvases, the viewer encounters skeletal torsos that have been compressed, pulled, and ripped apart, painted with the precision of European Old Masters. Braunig’s work draws on surrealist influences, exploring the female form to question traditional roles and expectations. Like Kogelnik, she examines how everyday symbols shape ideas of womanhood in daily life, turning familiar images into thought-provoking commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"kt-adv-heading22981_136555-98 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading22981_136555-98\"\u003eSascha Braunig: Wrist Painter is a midcareer retrospective that will include examples from across different periods of her corpus, as well as preparatory sketches, maquettes, drawings, and sculptural work. It will be the most extensive show of hers to date, following up on museum solo presentations at the Oakville Galleries in Ontario (2022), Kunsthall Stavanger in Norway (2016), and MoMA PS1 (2016). Visitors will be encouraged to reflect on the way gendered signs and symbols function in our everyday lives, while also considering the place of highly technical, abstract, and conceptual practices within a broader arts landscape in New England, primarily known for landscapes and marine paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"great-women-painters-by-phaidon-editors","title":"Great Women Painters by Phaidon Editors","description":"","brand":"Phaidon Press Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44181011366110,"sku":"PHP63285","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/8133\/files\/91s7xrZFwZL.jpg?v=1741114948"},{"product_id":"lay-figure-sascha-braunig","title":"Lay Figure Sascha Braunig","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-authors field-type-text\"\u003eSascha Braunig\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"field-items\"\u003eLay Figure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-technical-description field-type-text-long\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMMXXIII\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHardcover, 232 x 287 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e112 pages, 50 images\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEnglish\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTexts by Sarah Iley, Frances Loeffler,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSascha Braunig \u0026amp; Lucy Kim\u2028\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCo-published with Oakville Galleries\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEdition of 600\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-isbn field-type-text\"\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eISBN\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e978-2-930777-49-8\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-price field-type-number-float\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-buy field-type-ds\"\u003e\u003cform action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 35.6736%; height: 5px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 40px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 100%; height: 40px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/form\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLay Figure documents almost forty new and recent works by the Canadian-born, US-based artist Sascha Braunig. Exhibited at Oakville Galleries in 2022, the paintings and drawings in this substantial new body of work use material qualities to analogize an immaterial idea: the feeling of struggling with a system more powerful than you, in which you are also deeply entangled. The book includes an essay by curator Frances Loeffler and the transcript of a conversation between Braunig and artist Lucy Kim. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Triangle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48276543897822,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/8133\/files\/Screenshot2026-05-22at9.27.29AM.png?v=1779456491"}],"url":"https:\/\/store.portlandmuseum.org\/collections\/sascha-braunig-wrist-painter.oembed","provider":"PMA Store at the Portland Museum of Art, Maine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
