MAISIE COUSINS
Cousins’ photographic work is based on the construction of images charged with contrasts in various senses: visual, conceptual and thematic, as well as derived from extreme and opposing sensations aroused by the works. The artist, through exuberance, extravagance, and the saturation of details and elements, makes reference to fertility and life through the exaltation of the functions of the female body, while challenging and questioning existing rigid ideas regarding the ideal of purity.
Maisie Cousins has had solo exhibitions at venues including Fotografska, Stockholm, Sweden (2020) and TJ Boulting, London, UK (2017). She has participated in group shows at projects such as the Bangkok Art Biennale, Thailand (2020) and Musée National d’Histoire et d’Art, Luxembourg (2019). In 2019, she was a finalist for the Paris Photo Aperture First Book Award for her work Rubbish, Dipping Sauce, Grass, Peonie, Bum.
