Information

Stripping away idealisation to reveal the raw, unfiltered human experience, in this exhibition Shanee Roe guides us through the complexities of intimacy. Playful yet unsettling, her figures exist in states of vulnerability—exposed, clumsy, fragmented. The body is neither glorified nor concealed but presented in its most honest fleshy form, inviting a confrontation with our own perceptions of beauty, desire, and discomfort. Through ambiguity and tension, Roe challenges the romanticised narratives we construct around intimacy, opening space for questions about how we experience sexual desire and connection. In these moments of softness and disruption, we are asked to see, to feel, and to acknowledge the messy, tender reality of being human.
