Adonis

Adonis / 10” x 12” / Oil on canvas / 2008

All of us get obsessed with body image and what looks good sometimes. While the dynamic of the twisted body interested me, I wanted to show the extremities of obsession with 'the perfect body'. I used an inverted colour scheme to show opposition and to reveal the substance beneath the figure - as if to say that I see through the superficial image obsession if I look hard enough.
