From the "Taken" series, addressing historical depictions of violence against women (more on my website). After the first in the series, I wanted to revisit Syrinx again, because of the huge variety in depictions of her in historical paintings. While the first in the Taken series was taken from a very dark portrayal of the story, many depictions show Syrinx as playful and coy, as if playing hide and seek with pan amidst the reeds. This Syrinx, based after Ruben's painting of the subject, shows her giving a small smile as she looks out behind her. Without the context of Pan, she appears a sweet figure exploring her surroundings while quietly covering herself, making her a clear inclusion for the series.⠀ Spray paint is always tricky to work with, but the fluorescent spray paint contrasting with the smooth shading of Syrinx's body, the carefully painted drapery and the lightly dyed canvas really bring this painting to life.
