THE SCREAM

Oil on linen, 48'x 24', ( 122 cm x 61 cm )

 

This painting is an evocative depiction of a scream .

The figure's nudity is symbolic of being exposed to the world.

The color movement is from back to front.
She is impacted from behind, coming to a full halt.

The figure is virtually paralyzed,

represented by the red blotch beneath her that looks as if it has been spit onto the canvas.
Her expression speaks for it self.

What is she screaming? why?...
