Emily Wisniewski
My Reflection - Contemporary Figurative Landscape Painting

2023

About the Item

My Reflection 50.0 x 28.0 x 0.25, 5.0 lbs Oil Paint Signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "If you love someone who looks like you, you are a reflection of a mountain in a pond. Like earth and sky lovers in ancient myths. Essentially you are different but you interaction is essential." Exploring queer connections to landscapes, the portals, caves, and bodily holes interchangeably represent a connection to the outside world which penetrates the bodies through sensory experiences. Contour drawings and loose paint handling allow blur between separate entities, both bodies and landscapes. Painted glass and wood cut in the shape of contour drawings hang casting shadows. The glass grounds of the paintings lend a skin-like quality to the paint and enhance the light reflection through brushwork creating the skin-like effect. The subversively sexual nature of the unclothed female body creates a sense of parodic gaze of fetishized landscapes which contradicts ideas of the brutality of abstract mark-making. While some landscape figures are painted on glass or wood, I paint on traditional linen canvas. Painted frames double as portals and signs with ideographic markings. The subversively sexual nature of the unclothed female body creates a sense of parodic gaze of fetishized landscapes which contradicts ideas of the brutality of abstract mark-making.
