So, some of you may remember my post a few days ago, about the little prisons we confine ourselves into, each for different reasons... For the last couple of weeks, I have been engulfed in thinking about boundaries we trap ourselves into, little everyday habits that soon turn to routine, and imprisonment of our conscious (and subconscious) self in general...This formed a new collection of paintings, that took me on an amazing journey, challenged me constantly, but upon completion of each one, they provided a feeling of fulfillment, almost a feeling of release and freedom, the promise of which seems to underlie all of them...
Here is the first one of the collection...
The Great Escape, acrylics on canvas, 10 x 12 in.
That is really cool!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work !
ReplyDeletei love what this represent. self imposed prisons are so hard to escape. this is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like your painting, and your post brings up lots of thoughts about little prisons and traps we create for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteWhat is interesting is that often you can be in one of your own prisons for a long time before you realize that you're in there. Then it takes a little longer to discover that you possess the key to letting yourself out.
What an amazing concept, and beautiful work as always.
