Teplin’s practice focuses on an exploration into the aesthetics and politics of the feminine through painting, sculpture and performance. Within her practice, Teplin offers ‘femininity’ as a central theme, drawing from historical painting movements, the eroticism of the Rococo period, the Impressionists, early Modernism and Abstract Expressionism. Adopting the styles and subjects of her forebears through vigorous brushwork and animated colour, Teplin creates a cross pollination of historical applications and depictions, whilst questioning the positioning of the figure and the figurative.
