Figure / Ground

 

Figure/Ground

series: acrylic on magazine page, mounted on wood panel, various sizes, 2002-2018

 

Series of paintings on appropriated fashion magazine advertisement pages.  Figures and text are painted white leaving only landscape and a ghostly silhouette. Emphasis is put on pose and gesture rather than fashion, accessory and expression.
