Going Out

April 8, 2015 ASAA

K.-Reed

Title of Art Piece: Going Out
Category: Painting – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Karen Reed
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: This portrait of a couple is about young, idyllic love. A natural setting is used to create a mood of peace and underpins the beauty and primal nature of love. Bright, warm colors mimic the innocence and joy of the couple which is further expressed through the gentle embrace and facial expressions of the couple. While perfectly content, the couples themselves are not perfect, showing their individuality and imperfections which are part of human nature. An influence of this piece is Arnolfini Marriage by Jan van Eyk. The proportions of the couple were drawn through observation with the aid of a reference photo without the use of a projector or grid system.
