The body and their guards

The body and their guards

11 years, 161 days ago

This is the title of a project that I finish now. The start was last year. I placed 8 screens, 50 x 150 cm, and put me in the middle. The format impressed me. It is narrow and high. I sat there a long while, waiting for nothing. I left circling the carousel under my skull. Inspired by encounters, which occupied me, I began to paint. Each canvas for a body. All alone for themselves. Yet they belong together. They share the time and analogy.

I painted the woman's body in their various attributes and their guards. I hold the expression that came through the impression. I always want to know why every individual human personality is what it is. What do the eyes see, what the ears hear, what has received the skin? What happened to the soul in the body? Is the head with the body one? Or the thought distances itself from the enclosure?

Then there's the relationship. The relationship of woman to woman. The relationship of women to men. The relationship of man to man. The relationship of self to themselves
