Gives away less

Riae gives away less in this canvas than in the others I painted of her. That is why I kept coming back.

There is something in this canvas I never managed to identify. I stopped trying somewhere in the second week and painted it anyway. It is still there, and I suspect it will bother you in the same order it bothered me: first as a detail, then as a question.

What do you do with it?

Inspired by a photograph of Riae Suicide (@riae_). One of five canvases of Riae. 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.

Riae (Bathing in Red) in a room: an impression, not a measurement

In a room

An impression of Riae (Bathing in Red) 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.
