Exhibited at the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery

Statement

In this exhibition, Villere worked with the concept of camouflage and presented an entire gallery of white art works including paintings and sculpture that utilize her signature combination of materials such as porcelain, gauze, wire, mirror, twine, oil, and canvas. In all, over twenty different materials were used in creating this body of work.

In her own words: “Trying to blend in as a strategy to survive, Camouflage is a series of self-portraits revealing the contradictions of self-preservation.”

Selected collections include Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans Museum of Art, Roger Ogden, Saks Fifth Avenue Department Stores (Boston, San Francisco, Phoenix, Beverly Hills), The late Howard Barnett, James Mounger, Wendy and George Rodrigue, Louellen and Darryl Berger, Dr. Jonathan Lampert, Steve and Dana Hansel.
