The Second, 2015 Painting by Whitney Horrocks

Painting: Acrylic on Wood.

In this piece, I am revisiting a concept that I explored throughout my undergraduate studies. The series that this painting takes after shaped who I am as an artist. My work deals with issues of human reaction, specifically the fundamental binary opposition within. The juxtaposition of high and low value reflect conflict and contradiction of the self. The heavy line on the opposite value show the deep contrast of perception vs. reality.
