      Nikki Luna (b. 1977) - Rebel Woman

      Est: ₱200,000 - ₱260,000

      Rebel Woman signed and dated 2010 (verso) each light box, lace, plaster resin 41 1/2" x 41 1/2" (105 cm x 105 cm) PROPERTY FROM AN ITALIAN COLLECTION A multi-faceted contemporary artist, Nikki Luna synthesizes a variety of perspectives, and experiences into a practice that does not only seek a sort of aesthetic coherence, but emancipation and justice for those in which her art is built upon. She effectively ties together fringe and underrepresented narratives and communities and re-contextualizes them as a way of revealing the often elusive structures that tie them together. Most of Luna’s works are created through a feminist lens, and thus tackle issues such as misogyny, abuse, and women’s rights. This particular piece titled Rebel Woman exists within Luna's established artistic canon. The most striking and notable aspect of this mixed media piece are the six AK-47s. Cast in plaster resin, the AK-47 or the Kalashnikov Rifle is not only seen as an instrument of death, but a symbol of rebellion; and in most societies in the 20th and 21st century-- the mark of the enemy. But Luna seemingly subverts this idea by infusing the piece with visual cues that go against the imagery and idea one often associates with the weapon. The weapon’s utilitarian gun metal grey and brown palette is replaced by a much more pastel hue, evoking a feel that is relatively more welcoming. While the inner chambers of the weapon are webbed with lace, a comparatively softer material compared to the usual metal and steel. But Luna’s approach does not only end in her use of imagery, but extends itself to the actual physicality of the object. Luna’s work emphasizes the strength that is attributed to femininity and feminine characteristics. Effectively espousing the idea that in times of struggle, care is often seen as the most revolutionary act.
