SOLITAIRE Painting

The idea behind this painting came during the night of Storm Eunice where our power was cut. the dark night and lack of lighting meant I couldn't paint or entertain myself in any modern means, I resorted to my most enjoyed yet least frequented past time, solitaire. Two things endowed me to the game, the fact it can be played alone and the tangible aspect of the cards. The lonesome aspect means you can become enveloped into your own game and remove yourself from the world. I admire the tangible and visual aspect of the cards because they're so iconic, they feel weighted and important. I hope the lonesome man helps portray this ability of the cards to help remove themselves from society and appreciate the feeling of being pulled from reality and push to peace, that the cards give me. I use this subject matter as I think it is enticing for everyone that views it. Regardless of your connection and knowledge to art. I believe people can see my work and understand, either on a superficial and deeper level, something within themselves and make a connection to my painting. The ability to be accessible to everyone is so important to me as I think for too long the art world has tried to segregate itself into an exclusive world, when it should be freely open and available to everyone, as everyone through instinct has the ability to connect to artworks.
