O Thus She Stood
Oil Painting
Artist Statement
No form of peace is ever static. O Thus She Stood depicts the constant movement toward the resurrection of peace. It demonstrates the rise and fall of peace, tranquility and non-violence through the movement of a singular female figure pushing herself up from the ground, rising to her feet, standing, and lifting herself as if she herself experiences resurrection.
The masking of the figure(s) allows anonymity and universality by detaching the viewer from real physical representation or recognition of the individual.The background is comprised of many planes divided. Chilled abstracted geometric shapes and shading demonstrate the energy, emotion, and intangibles of the peace making.
A flat shadow grounds the progressive figures providing a realm of reality. The composition of the life size figures and electric bursts of shading are such that the viewers’ eyes are drawn up from the bottom of the canvas to the top and down again further expressing the continuum of the peace process.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries.
