Women Described Print

Inspired by our times and the language that is being used when describing a woman. There is a number of words that we apply when speaking about women - but we do not use the same vocabulary to describe a man. A man is "strong" and a woman is "bossy" :-)) I love the art in which artists play with words - they give them new meanings, pay attention to the power contained in words or simply emphasize them - my masters are Mel Bochner with his great "BLAH BLAH BLAH", Ed Ruscha, Robert Indiana, Kay Rosen, Jenny Holzer, Bob and Roberta Smith and the great "Maestra" - Barbara Kruger (I shop therefore I am). The shape of a body is cut out of cardboard (painted black and varnished), which was the packaging of very tasty Chinese Moon Cakes. I liked the cookies very much, and the packaging was of such good quality that I decided to use it:- ) So we may call it recycled art, collage, painting or whatever you want :-) The background is in scarlet red color, the letters that form the word "LOVE" are cuts-out and filled with some newspapers cuts-out. The sentences: "She Would Not Be Fearful" and "Are you ready" are newspapers cuts-out. All the words describing women are written with a white acrylic marker and then partially painted with white acrylic paint. When writing these words I came up with the idea, that I have been describing a type of a modern witch :-))), so I decided to add some optimistic cats :-) I drew 8 cats on a black paper and cut them out (8 is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture). When I was finishing, I decided to add my comment to all of that - so I wrote: "The Best" (in the meaning - the best even when perceived as pushy, bossy, etc...:-)) Size: 65x50 cm (19 5/8 x 25 5/8 inch) painted area: 60x46 cm Signed in the bottom right. Painted on Canson 290 g/m2, (140 Ibs) (thick) paper with linen canvas texture that provides an effect that is very similar to genuine linen canvas. In 7 days will be framed in a modern black frame + white 5 cm passepartout, so the price is for the framed artwork. As soon as I have it framed, I will add some photos. It will be sent from Warsaw, Poland, EU where currently I am. "Women Described" has got the same paper size & type and is painted with the same red Scarlet color as "Enough is Enough" Both paintings will be soon framed in the same type of frames + passepartout.
