Ric Conn

Ric Conn is an artist who stands out for his ability to use art as a tool for social criticism, denouncing issues such as gender inequality and discrimination through his works. Over the years, Conn has mainly focused on the condition of women, highlighting the difficulties that this social category is forced to face. Two of his most representative works are "nobody's business but her own" and "please not again” "Nobody's business but her own" represents the bust of a transparent woman, in which it is possible to see the female reproductive system in fluorescent red The title of the work is extremely significant as it suggests the need to respect the privacy and self-determination of women regarding their body and sexual life. The use of fluorescent green for the woman's bust can be interpreted as a symbol of life, hope, and vital energy. In this way, the artist seems to want to underline the strength and determination that women demonstrate in defending their rights, despite the difficulties they have to face. "Please not again" is a work that represents a woman lying on a bed with a sad and worried expression. Behind her, at the door, a man can be seen, but the artist has decided not to represent the facial features, thus suggesting the idea of an anonymous man without identity
