b. 1987, Montreal, Canada Roxy Peroxyde (Roxanne Sauriol Hauenherm) is a German-Canadian artist whose photorealistic oil paintings have been exhibited and collected internationally. She is recognized for her vivid portrayals of female figures, which serve as vessels for an autobiographical narrative shaped by the zeitgeist.
"Ketchup" oil on canvas 40"x 24" The subject confronts the viewer with a defiant, arrogant gaze. Her lower abdomen appears wounded, while holding a bloodied blade in her left hand, a stark confession of violence inflicted upon her own body. She wears a white dress, a latex veil, and balances the artists childhood teddy bear on her head, as symbol of innocence. At first glance, the title Ketchup suggests play or parody, yet the presence of a fly hovering near the blade dismantles any illusion of harmlessness. Behind her, the waters and sky is disturbingly still, tinted in unnatural hues that heighten the unease. This work confronts the erosion of women's bodily autonomy. By stripping women of reproductive rights, at gun point through laws, society demands that women regress into a childlike state of dependency, ceding ultimate authority over life itself to the state who ultimately hands it out entirely to men. The teddy bear perched on the crown of the head symbolizes this imposed state of infantile consciousness. The figure enacts purity: the white dress, the Virgin-like veil, the symbols of submission. Yet beneath this veneer of compliance, she makes a radical declaration: "I would rather sacrifice my ability to bear children entirely than relinquish sovereignty over my own body."
