Description
As an art critic, and an artist I want to dive into this solemn introspection of a female portrait painting. She is seated underneath architectural elements while brooding thoughtfully with her hand on her chin and wearing glasses in soft tones of pink yellow and teal blue. But what is to me made of this, and how can it best define who we are, and what we do on a daily basis. This is not just a simple portrait of a brooding emo girl. This is much more. The background architectural elements help shape the space she is in. It's large, expansive, vast and empty. Is this a symbolic gesture to use, the viewers of the painting, as to how we are as a species floating in the vastness of space? How do we cope with being part of that space and time?
This is the beginning of a new epoch in our lives where we all must deal with being lost in the void and how we will handle this new era we've been thrown into. We must learn to coexist, to be one, but yet remain unique, or at least find a way to try and live with ourselves as a whole being. How will you handle living in this world that we live in right now? This emo girl is wearing glasses and has on a white sweater, her hair is long and wavy and her lips are parted slightly in a way that tells us how lost and distraught she feels. I am a person who believes that if there is any way, there is a way out for people and this is a good example of why. But, what does this mean to us staring back at her? Can we help? Do we want to take a moment from our mundane but overwhelmingly busy days to extend our hands to her. Will we be genuine even if we do make the stand? Most will not, they may roll through the motions. Will we ask her what she is thinking about? If she starts expounding on her life and how it led up to this very moment for her and how that impacts her can we be the ones that interpret that in a way that is meaningful and helpful to her?
We most likely will let her spin into the vastness of empty space and move on nary a thought. What will it be like to walk through a door we see in the distance that says, 'you are here'? Are you willing to walk down an unknown road that will lead to a place where you may have no idea what lies ahead? This pastel laden female figure is a portrait that speaks to our internals. It helps to define who we are, what we feel and what we need in our own personal way. A brooding emo girl is not defined by what she wears, rather how she chooses to wear it. And that display to the world around her is more akin to how we project our sense of self to those around us. She is a young girl with glasses sitting in a pose that is meant to say she has been thinking and lost in thought, which she may or may not have actually done. We will never know as we never bothered to stop as we pass her by. Good luck living alone and distraught. Make that change in yourself and connect with humanity.
