Oil and paint scrapings on canvas
March 2011
My latest body of work merges my interest in line and paint scrapings onto a single canvas. I began to look at artists such as Egon Schiele and contemporary artist Hope Gangloff as inspiration for using line and drawing aesthetics in figure painting. I also began to look at Renaissance paintings for their themes, use of symbols and expertise. This specific painting references seduction and how this theme was presented in a Renaissance painting using symbols such as wine, textiles and musical instruments, all of which are found in this painting.
