UntitledI am doing a series of figure studies without heads. In omitting the head I take away how this person is identified, and concentrate on the human body as a raw whole. We all have labels and stereotypes that take away from the fact that people are just human figures. The fact that there is no face disengages the viewer and forces them to focus solely on the body as form. Also removing the head is a way to ironically connect the viewer to think of what or who they are as a human figure.
The colored background fades from dark and light, opaque and transparent, and I did not use any traditional human figure colors. These bright colors not only flow outside of the figures but within them. The aim of this is to show the cohesive nature of the self and the natural state of existence. The fact that the body exits at all is because of a momentary cognitive recognition that a particular set of shapes suggests a figure.
very groovy
