(4x6 inches/10x15 cm)
In the series: "Voor jou mijn kind"
(For you my child.)
(Loreena McKennitt- Ancient Pines)
I really love designing and playing around
with
these simple
paleolithic kind of figures.
I used a couple
of my former figures in a
new setting.
Normally my art evokes emotional extremes
with saturated
colors and lots of texture.
In this work I
toned down my vibrant colors in favor of a
black and red palette.
I composed a
grid-like structure, and filled them in with
these small B&W anthropomorphic
shapes.
I incorporated a white figure on the black
matting, part of the
celebration.
Of course there's a lot of symbolism in each of
the paintings.
This one was a gift to a friend
who helped a lot of women how to
celebrate their femininity.

What great concept.David Holcombe 16 Mar 2010
The formality of the squares is set off by the whimsical lines. Then there is the suggestion of anarchy off to the side. Very intriguing.Pepita Selles 16 Mar 2010
