Goup show chosen form over 2000 world wide applicants including Wendy Elia. Her ‘ I Could Have Been A Contender.’ is an uncompromising, full-length self-portrait. The artist whose previous works include the Half-Naked and the Visit series turns her unflinching gaze onto her own nude, middle-aged body. this painting is a ‘tongue in cheek’ response to societys unrealistic expectations of women, replete with references to family life and her artistic career.
