Woman in de Kooning's series represents the muse, the idol, and the goddess. Picasso, Ingres, Rubens, Rembrandt, and may great artist's carriers have been highlighted by their compelling representations of the female form. De Kooning used this history as grounds for his own experimentation with paint and abstraction, simultaneously expanding the history of woman as subject. My work exposes the development process of existing as a female artist - searching for a father figure in painting, and instead finding lessons on the complex relationships that exist between the masculine and the feminine divine. As an influential masterpiece, "Woman I" exhibits mesmerizing brush strokes unique to the capacity of oil paint. De Kooning was extraordinarily skilled in mixing oil paint with other media, and facilitating processes such as emulsion to enable his investigation of abstraction. The "Paintings" in my series show enlarged microscopy compositions within the larger painting's composition of a Woman. Differing from de Kooning's painting process, my work facilitates the old master techniques of glazing. The resulting image gives rise to the photorealistic illusion of brush stroke and thickness of paint. Woman, as a subject throughout history, is heavily depicted from the male perspective, and often as a desire. The woman in de Kooning's painting has notoriously been described as menacing, leaving the viewer all too aware of the darker side of feminine energy. By looking deeper into the composition and technique of de Kooning's famous painting, my work seeks to bring awareness to the deeper characteristics we all possess that shape our view of and relationship to reality.
