The Dancing Pair

The Dancing Pair, 18"x24", October 2013.
Acrylic on canvas, pencil, oil pastels.

I wanted to make humanoid shapes, that were both connected and clearly separate.
As the viewer steps back from the canvas, the humanoid figures merge into one strange creature. As the viewer steps towards the canvas,

These creatures are characters I have called 'familiars and strangers'. They are exact mirrors of ourselves, yet abstracted versions of ourselves. I want the viewer to connect with these creatures somehow.

It hangs in the Upstate Artists Guild gallery in Albany, NY, for the month of November. Its price is $225.
