ABOUT THE ARTWORK
DETAILS AND DIMENSIONS
SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Soylent Green is an abstract oil painting on canvas that was informed by the figure. I chose the medium for its viscosity and lusciousness. I use the figure as a metaphor to describe the world as I see it.

About the Artist
Marcia Freedman
My drawings and paintings are brought to life by critical observation, personal experience, memory and reactions to events.
They become a symbol for personal emotions and external perceptions, but on a broader level integrate the personal with wider questions, political and social
Using organic forms found in landscape and the figure as a source, the work is informed by nature, science and the potential for investigating new ideas to describe the fluidity of life and bodily changes that occur due to the effects of genetics and the environment, causing decay and death.
Images of organs, body parts, cellular forms, pods and rocks evolve into abstract images commenting on complex associations, perceptions and emotion.
In constructing the abstractions, I fracture, deconstruct and recontextualize the forms, using the drawing and painting process, without losing the specificity of the emotional metaphor.
The resultant images are mostly abstract, but in fact, based on the constant inquiry into the reality of life experience.
