Corinne Lewis’s painting embodies femininity through both imagery and painterly prowess, alluding to a celebration of sensual style. The femme fatales gracing Corinne’s painting reflect a contemporary milieu in their attire and settings. Contrasted with the dimly lit interior, lavish accoutrements in the form of jewellery and champagne in this painting extend the concept of allure to a desire for expensive material objects. Mention is also made therein of how dress and ‘accessory arts’ have contributed to a female’s ability to overcome the passive, objectified status conferred in a patriarchal realm.
