Abstract
This is a digital photograph of Edith Lewis's mixed media artwork. It was submitted as the third critiqued assignment, "Not Flat," on April 4, 2017, in Erin Harmon's Intermediate/Advanced Painting class. The student's artist statement for this work reads: "The shape of the panel creates an angle which leads the eye to the main clay relief figure, and constructs a space that is somewhat unsymmetrical and eschewed. The checkered floor which gets wider as it reaches the bar creates a distinct space that leads the viewers eye inwards and gives the figures a seemingly three dimensional space. These figures are also painted with sharp, complementary colors and drawn lines, making them unrealistic, but realistic outlines simultaneously. The main figure, which is rendered with a more realistic touch, physically escapes the painting because of her three dimensional face, hair, and hands, but her arms, which are still within the panel, are shaded and formed with the unrealistic and colored lines that the other figures within the canvas are painted with. This makes the main figure a part of both the painting and the three dimensional world simultaneously."
