A contemporary take on Titian’s Renaissance masterpiece of the same name, where Europa is given agency, voice and attitude – the work is a deliberate contrast to Titian’s objectified, passive depiction. Liberating Europa from a subservient and silent role that she has long been forced to play in art and literature, here she becomes a naughty, often foul-mouthed polemical advocate and spokeswoman for women’s rights.
