Shhh, Shhh, Sleep!, 2008
Lidia de Pedro is a UK-based visual artist whose work blends classicism and modernism to explore complex sociological themes through symbolism, humour, and iconoclastic imagery.
Shhh, Shhh, Sleep! is one of four pieces she created for theĀ Saints and Sinners Ā exhibition. These works examine the interplay between virtues and flaws inherent in all individuals, delving into the intricacies of family relationships. Each piece tells a story, portraying family members as both saints and sinners. The tension and harmony within these relationships are expressed through the juxtaposition of dual roles, illustrating that everyone embodies both light and shadow.
Shhh, Shhh, Sleep!Ā specifically explores the relationship between mother and daughter, addressing generational conflict, social expectations, and traditional gender roles. The work highlights the challenge of establishing identity and autonomy while navigating family dynamics and confronts the psychological impact of societal expectations on women, which often perpetuate advantages for men.
From a printerās proof edition of 1, printed on 300gsm Somerset Cream paper, the piece is signed and numbered by the artist.
