About Interpreting Discomfort Serie Olieverfschilderijen

"Interpreting Discomfort" is een serie olieverfschilderijen over persoonlijke ruimte en sociale druk. De werken tonen handen en ogen in geënsceneerde scènes die alledaagse momenten van onbehagen naspelen. Zorgzame gebaren kunnen mensen dichter bij elkaar brengen, maar te veel aandacht kan ook ongemak veroorzaken. De schilderijen combineren twee technieken. Indirect schilderen bouwt een zwart-witte basis op die vervolgens met kleur wordt geglaceerd. Direct schilderen brengt gemengde kleur rechtstreeks op het oppervlak aan. De serie is gemaakt met olieverf op canvas en houten paneel, en wordt in galerieën getoond als aanzet tot gesprek.
