Creative Access Description
A colour landscape image of ten acrylic paintings mounted in a row across the white walls of a gallery space. All the paintings are in landscape orientation and have the same dimensions, 18 inches by 24 inches, illuminated from above by track lighting. The paintings feature naked figures in different settings such as standing together against a scenery, laying down together, or standing in a row posing towards the audience. The figures depicted have parts of their bodies incomplete, outlines left unrendered and limbs replaced with prosthetics. These figures are set against chaotic and visually charged abstracted landscapes in pale, muted colours that resemble a half-painted room with hazily present objects and structures melting towards each other, blurring the boundaries of the space.Description
