Creative Access Description
A colour landscape image of three 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. The paintings feature partially naked figures in different settings, except for one painting that depicts two people sitting down in dark plain clothes. In the other two paintings, partially naked figures are sitting down in dark rooms with their eyes gazing towards the left and a neutral expression on their faces. 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
