(Not) Cloudy

Oil Paint on Canvas

36x36

This painting is about rising above. The “cloudy” in the middle represents an issue. On the left, the wax figure is bright and colorful staring straight out with confidence and clarity. He stands under a bold word, “not,” as if to say “my view on this issue is not cloudy.” On the right hand side, the wax figure is dark, brooding and standing in shadow. He stares intently at the bright wax figure. The word “huh” is obscured, looming above. This wax figure is masking fear with aggression, confusion with confidence and jealousy with interest. The pink hair tie that he’s wearing? Open for interpretation. What does it mean to you?
