Painting Based On Photography
Into The Forefront30.48 cm by 30.48 cm
Medium: Oil on Canvas Completion: October 2020 “Into the Forefront” is taken from a cropped version of "Lonely Comforts" (previous piece). Where the original showed how I felt I was fading into the background, this painting heightens the contrast between myself and the background, allowing a distinction between myself and my surroundings. The head is not visible, however, representing a continuing disconnect. Inspiration was taken in technique from the work of Georges Seurat, and in color from Vincent Van Gogh’s 1889 self portrait. |
