                        About the Artist
                    Lynda Benglis is a highly influential American artist, celebrated as a pivotal figure in post-minimalist art and a pioneer in challenging traditional artistic boundaries. Her distinctive practice explores the materiality of substances, the performative act of making, and the body itself. Benglis is renowned for her innovative use of unconventional materials like poured latex, polyurethane foam, and pigmented wax, which she manipulates to create vibrant, flowing, and often biomorphic forms that extend beyond the wall or floor. Her work directly engages with feminist critiques and questions of gender, continually pushing the expressive and formal possibilities of sculpture and installation art.
