Artist Statement

 

Hebe Wohlrab is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist based between London and Gibraltar. Her practice investigates the layered experiences of femininity, drawing on personal memory and cultural observation. Through a blend of irony and uneasy beauty, she reflects on the tensions between self-image, societal expectation, and the rituals of coming of age. Engaging with transformation and in-between states, her work moves through themes of glamour, vulnerability, and contradiction. With a focus on subtle provocation, Hebe’s pieces form an ongoing visual inquiry into the performative and often paradoxical nature of womanhood.

​

In her recent works, Watch Me as I Melt and Chantal’s Liquid Crystal Display, Wohlrab explores the reduction of the self to a visual veneer. These pieces feature surreal, melting figures that morph into luxury goods and technologically automated forms, blurring the boundaries between the organic and the artificial. Originally trained as a painter, she now employs 3D technologies to create self-portraits and sculptures that examine the collusion of survival and demise.

​

Through this lens, Wohlrab’s art becomes both personal and political, exposing the structural conditions that entrap the feminine experience while refusing easy conclusions.
