About the Work
Smug Shot by Madeleine Pfull is a compelling diptych edition composed of two archival pigment prints, limited to an edition of 30. This work portrays a woman who, having done a bad thing, is now getting her mug shot taken. In the artist's words, "This work is about a woman who did a bad thing and is now getting her mug shot taken. But I think she's quite happy with herself, and not at all remorseful. So it's a smug shot."
Artist Biography
Madeleine Pfull's (b. 1993, Sydney, Austrailia) practice integrates performative staging into painting, creating uncompromising portraits of women, often set in domestic spaces and embodying suburban clichés. Known for her dual portraits and triptychs, Pfull's works frequently depict the same scene with minor variations, focusing on the facial expressions of her characters. This diptych, Smug Shot, captures the defiant and unapologetic nature of her subject, inviting viewers to explore the character's backstory and contemplate the nuances of her expression. Madeleine Pfull's art has been showcased in numerous solo and group exhibitions globally, reflecting her fascination with performance and mannerisms, which add depth and narrative to her characters. Smug Shot is a testament to her distinctive approach, blending self-transformation with intricate storytelling.
