"At Nashville’s Red Arrow Gallery booth, Annie Brito Hodgin’s unnervingly pale and interchangeable women cavort, writhe, and scratch their way into a surreal legacy of figure drawing. With verve similar to Dorothea Tanning’s lonely girls and women, Hodgin’s oil-painted figures find themselves railing against the narrative confines of biblically inspired scenarios, like scenes from the life of Noah or the temptation of Eve by the serpent in the Garden of Eden. When I say Hodgin’s women “rail”, what I mean is that though they are often identical, nude, fallible, and frail, there is a sense that they don’t completely accept the contours of the stories they are placed within."
