Critiqued Assignment #1: Photo-volution / "City Girls"

Abstract

This is a digital photograph of Mattie Boyd's painting. It was submitted as the first critiqued assignment, "Photo-volution," on February 8, 2017 in Erin Harmon's Intermediate/Advanced Painting class. The artist's statement reads: "This piece was the start of a new lineage of work that further abstracted the figure from my previous works. In this painting, an array of globular alien like figures inhabited a space that was multi-planar yet flat. Elements of their environment were painted in either a similar or complimentary palette yet were depicted as being more angular and sought to contrast the figures. Despite the relationship between figure and environment, being unresolved this painting aided in solidifying my current artistic interest."
