She is looking down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tattoos carry this canvas. They are in the same deep blue as the dark behind her, so in places you cannot tell where the ink on her skin stops and the room begins. Only her face and the red come forward out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI called it Shy. I am still not sure that shyness is what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat do you do with it?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInspired by a photograph of \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/riae-suicide\"\u003eRiae Suicide\u003c\/a\u003e (@riae_). One of five canvases of Riae. What the painting makes of it is my doing, not hers.

This canvas was not. It took weeks, and it will hang on a wall for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdering 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is one of this canvas and there will never be a second. If you have read this far, you are already picturing the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Willem van der Krieken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57564215050580,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1068\/9406\/6004\/files\/riae-shy.jpg?v=1791878119","url":"https:\/\/paintedidols.com\/products\/riae-shy","provider":"Painted Idols","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
