In Hotsy Totsy, Tine Vandamme evokes the playful and provocative energy of vintage glamour, infusing it with her own bold and contemporary style. The painting portrays a woman dressed in delicate lingerie, posed in a way that exudes confidence and allure. Her gaze invites the viewer into a moment of both vulnerability and strength, framed by the lush, vibrant background that suggests an almost dreamlike atmosphere.

The title, Hotsy Totsy, references a term from the early 20th century, synonymous with something or someone who is fashionable, stylish, or full of life. In this work, Vandamme plays with the concept of allure, blending eroticism with beauty, and pushing the boundaries of traditional depictions of femininity. The leopard print chair adds an extra layer of sensuality and contrasts with the softer tones of the figure, creating a sense of tension between the delicate and the bold.

Through expressive brushwork and vivid colors, Tine’s work captures the complexities of identity, confidence, and self-expression, celebrating the raw, unapologetic nature of femininity.
