Mitchells Repair Mate

Scrambled Femininity


This work of art is the third and last of this Italian trilogy of the Lithuanian artist Aneta Chabibulina and somehow is the most autobiographical of the three.

As for Password to Heaven recurs the theme of strangling spaghetti, this time on the body of the feminine subject, as quoting one of the masterpieces of the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo .
The femininity is witnessed also by the presence of the eggs (symbolically and by definition reproductive) in a waved ocean within the background. There is an emphasized and apparently paradoxical contrast in this work of art, between the calming, peaceful, pastel colours and the lost expression of the subject whose venous system is clearly visible on her arms.
The nudity of the woman is covered only by the struggling, probably harming, laces and the young pneumatic breasts, compressed by them are shown clearly in the centre as ready to be squeezed by the public.
Still today, in the age we are living, rules of the modern society, are containing femininity from one side and asking for masculine, strong behaviour and efforts (veins) from another in order to achieve respect and targets.

Quest’opera è la terza ed ultima della triologia italiana dell’artista Lituana Aneta Chabibulina ed in un certo senso può essere considerata la più autobiografica delle tre.
Così come per Password to Heaven recurring theme of spaghetti that strangle, this time the body of the female subject in a clear quote from one of the masterpieces of the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo . Femininity is also evidenced by the presence of eggs (and symbolically, by definition, reproductive) in a wavy sea in the background. In this there is also emphasized and apparently paradoxical contrast between the calm, peaceful, pastel colors and the expression of the subject lost in the venous system and clearly visible on his arms.
The nakedness of woman is covered only by strizzanti, probably painful, laces and the young, compressed air within from them is clearly shown in the center, as if ready to be wrung from the public.
Even today, in this age, the rules of modern society, are holding the feminine within certain limits on the one hand and calling for strong behavior, not male-free efforts (veins) on the other, in order to get respect and results.
