Unknown Hands Print

This piece was inspired by a painting by Hi Lihuai's "Hands". When I started painting this, I wanted to attach my own story to this subject. It's the feeling of nervousness and the anxiety. The hands are pale, with pressure and anticipation. As this piece was painted back in the 1960s, I wanted to imagine the life of a Chinese woman, with silk sleek cut dresses. The swirled up hair and the fierce image out into the streets. The woman would be to mingle, impress and to be of manner. Only when the woman goes back into her home where she releases her self from the chains, the hands are pale from the pretend and pressure. With veins blue, she nudges into her own flesh to feel the blood still flowing. I used oil paints as my medium for this piece to bring out the most raw texture and color of the hands. I roughened up the canvas with gesso to add more texture which gave sharpness. As for the viewers, I want them to feel the emotion and the story behind this piece while attaching their own meanings of what they see. *Hanging hardware would not be included for this piece.
