"…the distorted image of ideal beauty that is never achievable, though laid-on by the world of the media and advertising." (Riedstra, 2007)
Riedstra's ‘Barbs Series’ was shown as part of the Amsterdam International Fashion Week, 2007.
The paintings represent the pain and frustration many women feel when they/we aspire to an unattainable and unrealistic standard of beauty as publicised by the media. They speak of the difficulty in present-day society for women to achieve a true and unadulterated identity of themselves because of the pressures to conform to influences around them/us.
