My submission for Illustration Friday's "rejection" is from a dimensional painting called "Chastity". This was # 3 in a 5-part series for my show "Five Easy Pieces". The paintings were Vanity, Charity, Chastity, Sinkronicity and Stability. Each artwork was based on a piece of furniture or household item. Vanity is a vanity, Chastity, is a chaise lounge, etc. This is a poster and postcard/invite for the show. She had to reject a lot of men to stay chaste.
powerful invite! i like the colors and the shapes of the structured posts in the background together with the painting of some sort of temples in the middle of the sea and a lot more......
ReplyDeleteAnd did it work? :) Nice one, Val.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a clever concept I wish I thought up :D Great invite!
ReplyDeleteOf course I just love this image. Check out that moon peeking through the stylish windows? However, I wonder how a beautiful half-naked woman could remain chaste. She must indeed have strong rejection powers!
ReplyDeleteshe must be asexual. or how could it work otherwise?!
ReplyDeleteval, i just love the blues in this piece. the colors are so so peaceful. this might be one of my very favorites. i'd love to see the other four...
OH! I was wondering like CES...Hhehe! Wonderful illo, Valerie. That women is not rejected.... She's rejecting... :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you use bright saturated colors and are always able to set the right mood. There is so much depth to this.
ReplyDeleteThis is powerful! Great colors and message.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors, and the moon peeking through, too!Great work, Val!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as always, I really like the original concept.
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece Val. I love looking through the windows. Could that be a hopeful suitor in the boat? And I love the illuminated building in the distance. Very nice!
ReplyDeletethere is something escheresque about this one...i love the moon coming through/around the windows/columns.
ReplyDeleteand the blues you've chosen...excellent.
Great painting, Valerie!
