Dismembered, by Bismuth Arsenide

Dismembered, by Bismuth Arsenide

=Bismuth is a Boston-based artist known for her self-portrait photographs. Her work explores and challenges ideas surrounding identity and its fragile nature, politics and trans expression through a satirical and spontaneous approach.

Recently, Bismuth has taken up oil painting as her primary medium, in which she creates numeric and interactive landscapes.

Dismembered, showing at Peggy Mercury, will be her debut solo exhibit and will showcase her self-portrait images alongside painted works. Co-curated with James Boehmer and Gregory Fricke, the show will display Bismuth’s current fascination with fragmentation and isolation, and so much more.

Please join us Friday, August 8th from 4-6 Pm for an opening reception with the artist.
