Description
"I loosely based the pose of the two figures on Manet’s painting Olympia, intrigued by the power projected by the figures’ gaze and body language. Playing with the idea of a woman’s space, utilizing stereotypes of female interaction ‘zones’ and satirizing it by physically placing the reclining figure within a bath. I used the colour cadmium red to stimulate a somewhat sinister tone and specific heightened colours to create celluloid dreams in a similar vein to artist film directors like Wim Wenders and David Lynch.
The two models are both artists who have inspired my practice, so this painting is a dedication to their humour, talent and influence."
