Catalogue Note
Minter's pieces are excruciatingly beautiful, flesh-like surfaces that throb with sensuality, ugliness, and artifice. Ultimately, Minter's work is wedded to the uncertainty and anxiety that are inextricably tied to the same bodies that we associate with desire. It's a disquieting combination, and the artist deftly captures the fluidity and ambiguity of bodies that cannot easily be contained by standards of propriety and acceptable beauty. Nirmala Nataraj
