Ought not to work
There is a combination in this image that ought to be unpleasant and somehow is not.
That is the entire reason I could not leave it alone. Something here is close to repellent and completely compelling at the same time, and weeks of oil paint did not separate the two.
What do you do with it?
Inspired by a photograph of Elisa Brandani. What the painting makes of it is my doing, not hers. Part of Painted Idols.
Buying is the easy part
The photograph this came from was made to be forgotten. This canvas was not. It took weeks, and it will hang on a wall for years.
Ordering takes a minute. Deciding where it goes is the part that takes nerve, because everyone who walks into that room will see it and decide something about you. That is the real decision, and it is yours. The ones who own these stop noticing the reaction after about a month, and never stop noticing the painting. Hang it anyway.
There is one of this canvas and there will never be a second. If you have read this far, you are already picturing the wall.
In a room
An impression of Elisa (Appetite) in a room. The room is imagined; the canvas is the real work. It is not a measurement: the size is in the details above.
