Hollywood, CA--Antebellum gallery is pleased to present “In The Womb: Death, Birth, and Everything In Between,” the first US solo exhibition by Los Angeles and Paris-based artist Scarlett Rouge. “In The Womb” is a multi-media installation which continues Rouge’s interest in archetypal and alchemical symbologies and the metaphor of birth as it relates to society’s capacity to communicate and evolve.

“In The Womb” creates a narrative questioning our most basic assumptions and deep-seated fears through a series of sculptures materialized in oil paintings inside ostrich eggs, which rest upon hand-sculpted steel pedestals. The creations are unions of the earthly and celestial, strength and fragility.

SCARLETT ROUGE is a multi-medium artist who lives and works in Los Angeles and Paris. Her first performance was at age 4 holding a sign that read “Nepotism” as she and the band “Visiting Kids” opened for Nina Hagen in Hollywood. Over the next 23 years, she sang, acted, painted, sculpted, modeled, cooked, and performed. As a child, her art practice began with a quest to discover what God really is. She became interested in metaphysics, quantum mechanics and Eastern philosophies while furthering her spiritual development through yoga and magick rituals.
