WOMEN

2022

WOMEN, 2022, Richard Taittinger Gallery, New York, NY, Stainless steel, diffusion and reflective material, handmade silkscreens, LEDs, custom lighting sequence, and electrical hardware.

RICHARD TAITTINGER GALLERY is proud to present “WOMEN”, an exhibition of deep resonance held in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This presentation reflects the gallery’s commitment to honoring women’s strength and supporting their wellbeing through the transformative power of art.

At the center of the exhibition is Grimanesa Amorós, whose light sculpture LOTUS brings both power and softness to the space. Through movement, light, and layered symbolism, the work evokes the beauty and complexity of womanhood.

The lotus flower has long symbolized femininity, resilience, and rebirth. It grows through muddy waters to bloom in the light, representing inner strength, transformation, and grace. In many cultures, it is associated with purity and emotional clarity. Amorós channels this meaning into a sculptural experience that speaks to the quiet force within all women.

Through her use of light, sculpture, and technology, Amorós creates an immersive environment that invites contemplation and connection. LOTUS honors not only the symbolic power of the flower but also the enduring spirit of the women it represents.

Grimanesa Amorós LOTUS, LED sculpture and light sculpture made of stainless steel, diffusion and reflective material, LEDs, and custom lighting sequence, its warm tonal LED sequence shifting through the gradual opening of a lotus blossom from bud to full bloom, channeling the lotus flower's ancient symbolism of resilience, transformation, and rebirth to honor the enduring strength of women. Exhibited as the centerpiece of WOMEN, a group exhibition held in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, at Richard Taittinger Gallery, New York, 2022.
