SYLVIA SLEIGH
A Visceral Eye
Un œil viscéral est la rétrospective la plus complète jamais réalisée
de Sylvia Sleigh (1916-2010), peintre réaliste née au Pays de
Galles, qui remporta un succès critique dans les années 1960 et
70, figure reconnue comme étant à l’initiative de la scène artistique
féministe new-yorkaise. Célèbre pour ses nus masculins explicites
qui citent et subvertissent la tradition historique du regard masculin
posé sur le corps féminin, les portraits de Sleigh représentent des
artistes, musiciens et auteurs des deux genres, habillés et nus,
constituant un panthéon de figures culturelles emblématiques.
Explorant le portrait contemporain comme un dialogue intime
entre l’artiste et le modèle, la pratique de Sleigh déplace le sujet
ambitionnant de faire disparaître l’objectivation dans l’art. Dans
ces portraits, elle combine une sensualité sans équivoque et un
féminisme très personnel qui la placent au cœur d’un discours sur
le pouvoir, la représentation et le genre.
A Visceral Eye is the most comprehensive retrospective to date
of Welsh-born realist painter Sylvia Sleigh (1916–2010) who
gained critical success in the 1960s and ’70s as an important
instigator of New York’s feminist art scene. Known for her explicit
male nudes that quote and subvert the art historical tradition of
male gaze onto female body, Sleigh’s portraits feature artists,
musicians and writers of both genders, dressed and naked,
representing a pantheon of significant cultural figures. Exploring
contemporary portraiture as an intimate dialogue between artist
and sitter, Sleigh’s practice elevated her subjects, aiming to remove
objectification from art. In these portraits, she combined bold
sensuality with a personal feminism that placed her at the heart of
a discourse on power, representation, and gender.
A Visceral Eye is the fourth step of Sylvia Sleigh’s exhibition. The
CAPC shows a large selection of her works made by Giovanni
Carmine, Mats Stjernstedt and Alexis Vaillant, curated by Alexis
Vaillant at the CAPC, asking the question of the academicism of the
representation regarding the radicalism of the speech of the artist.
The exhibition is a joint production by the Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo,
the Kunsthalle Sankt Gallen, the Tate Liverpool, the CAPC musée
d’art contemporain in Bordeaux and the Centro Andaluz de Arte
Contemporáneo in Seville.
Un œil viscéral est la quatrième étape, en Europe, de l’exposition
Sylvia Sleigh. Conçue par Alexis Vaillant au CAPC, l’exposition
présente une large sélection d’œuvres faite par Giovanni
Carmine, Mats Stjernstedt et Alexis Vaillant posant la question
de l’académisme de la représentation au regard du radicalisme du
discours de l’artiste.
L’exposition est une coproduction du Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo, de

A PROPOS DE SYLVIA SLEIGH /
ABOUT SYLVIA SLEIGH
SYLVIA SLEIGH
Sylvia Sleigh est née au Pays de Galles en 1916. Après des études à
l’école d’art de Brighton, elle fait sa première exposition en 1953 à
la Kensington Art Gallery.
SYLVIA SLEIGH
Sylvia Sleigh was born in Wales in 1916. After studying at Brighton
art school, she had her first exhibition in 1953 at the Kensington Art
Gallery.
Elle s’installe à New York aux États-Unis en 1961, avec son mari,
Lawrence Alloway1, qui vient d’être nommé conservateur du musée
Solomon R. Guggenheim. Elle y passera le reste de sa vie.
In 1961, with her husband Lawrence Alloway[1], who had just been
appointed curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim museum, she
settled in the United States, in New York, where she spent the rest
of her life.
C’est à New York que Sylvia Sleigh devient une artiste de premier
plan. Témoin de son époque, elle peint des portraits d’hommes et de
femmes, des corps nus et habillés, en pied, en plan rapproché, seuls
ou en groupe, dans un style unique méticuleux, aussi fascinant que
récalcitrant.
It was in New York that Sylvia Sleigh became a noted artist. As
a witness to her day and age, she painted portraits of men and
women, naked and clothed, standing, close-up, alone or in groups,
in a unique and painstaking style, as fascinating as it is defiant.
With the emergence of the second wave of feminism in the United
States in the 1960s, Sylvia Sleigh became an important figure in
the New York cultural scene. She worked to have women artists
recognized, and supported self-managed galleries and venues such
as A.I.R., the first cooperative female gallery, and SOHO20 Gallery.
Avec l’émergence de la deuxième vague du féminisme aux
Etats-Unis dans les années 60, Sylvia Sleigh devient une
personnalité importante de la scène culturelle new-yorkaise.
Elle œuvre à la reconnaissance des femmes artistes et soutient
des galeries et des lieux autogérés tels que A.I.R, première galerie
coopérative féministe ou SOHO20 Gallery.
Sylvia Sleigh’s work is always being shown somewhere.
Connected with feminism and the figurative realism of the 1970s,
together with Alice Neels, Philip Pearlstein or Larry Rivers, it has
also featured in major shows like WACK! Art and the feminist
movement, held at the MOCA in Los Angeles, and the MoMA in
New York, in 2007
Le travail de Sylvia Sleigh n’a jamais cessé d’être montré. En lien
avec le féminisme et le réalisme figuratif des années 70 en
compagnie d’Alice Neels, Philip Pearlstein ou Larry Rivers,
il appartient aussi à de grandes expositions telles que WACK! L’art
et le mouvement féministe, exposition du MOCA, Los Angeles,
et au MoMA, New York en 2007.
Sylvia Sleigh died in 2010 at the age of 94.
