Panel Speakers

Maryam Eisler
Maryam Eisler’s exquisite photographs centre around the sublime feminine. The artist casts her subjects against spartan landscapes and curvilinear architecture - specific sites and grounds that she seeks out to evoke a tangible sense of calm, inner purity. Contextualised in this way, Maryam’s female nudes point to a bold, uncompromising portrayal of the feminine and a free-thinking sense of self. The artist’s extensive writing, editing, marketing and film-making background are patently evident in each of her meticulously considered photographic responses to her subject matter and bring a rich, uncompromising focus.
