The Red
A familiar girl, a familiar face, you have to look fast, she's going away..."
"The Red" is a 22x28" oil painting that I built up for months through a series of super-thin layers. I wanted to create a feeling of intense yearning and connection between you and her. You can barely see her face, wishing you could see more, or to try and go out to join her, but first you have to decide if she's even real, if you're really seeing things...
Emily is a sophomore at Cuyahoga Community College pursuing a bachelor's in Studio Arts with a concentration in Painting. She enjoys drawing from life, especially the human form, and she wants to create works that use her own body to express inner emotions/conflicts and express things in life that she feels aren't fair. Emily wants to create art by, for, and about herself, as she feels minority women are extremely underrepresented across time in museums.
