Written between 1812 and 1857, the Grimms' fairytales are known and loved by children the world over. What is less known is that these stories were originally intended for adults, with later editions expunged of their explicit sexuality and violence. Using the original, often graphic versions of these stories as a point of departure, artist Natalie Frank explores the intersection between body and mind, reality and fiction in forty gouache and chalk pastel drawings. Through Frank’s renderings, the stories’ eccentric symbols spring to life, challenging viewers’ imaginations.
