Artwork Description

The artwork was part of larger project that I was assembling at the time. The primary themes and conceptual background motivating the project (consisting of several “identities” depicted in the traditional painting genre of portrait painting with a stylistic twist of abstract expressionism/ surreal qualities overriding the “known” or assumed stylistic genre of traditional portrait painting) with each piece aiming to depict each particular person as a dual construction made up of their physical body and (larger focus) on their psychological body (their emotional state, their interests, memories, values,personality traits, experiences etc).

Artist Bio

Born December 31st 1996 in Sydney, Australia.
Lucy J Charaneka
Works and studies as a Fine Artist with a specialised focus on Painting, Drawing and Printmaking art practices.
Graduate of National Art School attaining Bachelor’s of Fine Arts Degree and UNSW Art and Design Masters graduate completing Master’s of Fine Art Degree.
Highly interested and inspired by numerous artists and art practices associated with the Surrealism Art Movement as well many attributed with German Expressionism and the Abstract Expressionists.
Much of the artist’s work and practice is centred around themes involving the human body and psyche aiming to capture the essence of any being as one that consists of two primarily equal and interrelating elements: that is the physiological and the psychological components that contribute to the identity. Many of the artist’s works address these ideas relating to identity, the psychological state or experience of an individual, the human body or portrait in a somewhat abstract and expressive manner usually through the medium of oil or acrylic paintings, or mixed media drawings as well as photography and collage.
Time, aging and mortality, perception, and human endeavour/human suffering also act as frequently explored themes and subject matter for Lucy’s artistic approach. She is highly expressive and passionate in nature and this is too communicated through her art; whatever the medium.
