The Kim Banister gallery was definitely an interesting and curious. The exhibit was called "Evolving", I tried to make sense of this as I noticed the different paintings. They are set up as if showing the different states of a woman. I was curious to the colors used in each because they seem to display emotions.
The artist also set up similar drawings next to each other and that was interesting because although they were similar they each told a different story.
The drawing I picked was #6, Figure in Green. I chose it because of my curiosity in the painting. The woman looks like she is lost, frighten, sad. She looks like a lot of emotion that I definitely could understand. The drawing was done with a mixed media and linseed oil. I'm not an Art major but I can see how interesting the materials used to bring color to the drawing really bring out details.
The artist called the series, Motherhood and the exhibit is called Evolving. I wonder if it's because the artist decided to take a different turn and introduce color? She address this in her lecture as well as the use of layers in the drawing. She also said the that its about the Evolution with Age and perhaps in my opinion each drawing resembles a milestone with each woman's time of her life? In general the effects and outlines of the drawing really bring out some interesting details that help narrative the drawing in a more realistic sense.
