Paint brushes down! Inspirational day and joyful celebration of women at ‘Flesh After Fifty’ @abbotsfordconvent Visiting this exhibition along with 2 of my dearest high school friends was a uplifting and empowering experience. This exhibition was designed to challenge and change images of older women in art. Photographer @ponchhawkes photographed 432 nude women aged over 50 to celebrate the diversity and reality of older women’s bodies. This engaging outreach program simultaneously challenged stereotypes and bonded us all. @peter_wegner intimate paintings of his friend and life model Fyona are monumental and visceral celebrating the skin and flesh of the female body with thick impasto oil paint. Loved every inch of this exhibition and if you you’d like to see it rush there now - it’s the final day! . #abbortsfordconvent #collingwood #collingwoodchildrensfarm #abbortsford #peterwegner #ponchhawkes #artexhibition #artexhibitionmelbourne #melbourneart #melbourneartist #jenshewringartist #jenshewring #melbournelife #jenshewringart #broadsheetmelbourne #broadsheetmelb #whatsoninmelbourne #melbourneartgalleries #celebratewomen #celebratelife #joyful #joyfulwomen #australianart #womensupportwomen #womenpower #womenempowerwomen #empoweringwomen #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #womeninspiringwomen (at Abbotsford Convent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNgv5UVHMhT/?igshid=pi1up1a18h3j
