Trio of Bodies - Henrietta Whitman
Description
Trio of Bodies - Henrietta Whitman
Oil paints, watercolour, gesso, hard-modelling paste, pencil. 630 x 870 mm - Framed
ARTIST STATEMENT: I was drawn to the work of Francisco J. Jimenez due to his interesting use of a variety of media in order to create the textures observed in his originals. When relating to my Aleve l theme of the toxicity perpetuated throughout the world of ballet and identifying the factors which contribute to the perpetuation of a certain, often unattainable, body type, I wanted to look at an artist's style whom I may look to apply to this theme. One of the main characteristics featured, alongside the typical use of a neutral colour pallet and nude subjects were the harsh, black lines often used to outline the bodies; something I felt was stark and unforgiving, reflecting the nature of ballet institutions’ outlook on body type. ABOUT THE ARTIST: This piece is Shortlisted in the 2022 Sovereign Art Foudation Students Prize in Guernsey. Henrietta created this piece aged 16 while a student at The Ladies' College.
