Artist Statement

Exploring, curating and art making is a methodology that suggests the human condition is more complex than it is currently understood, I examine, instigate and provoke notions of the individual experience through specifically focusing on philosophical discourse, body image, embodiment & ethics. I acknowledge there is power within the un-well body and believe there is tremendous value and potency through examining these subjects through the contemporary art lens.

Ally Zlatar holds a BFA in Visual Art and Art History from Queen's University & an MLitt in Curatorial Practice from the Glasgow School of Art.
