About the Item
Mary Titus’s "Passing By" is an expressionist figurative work that captures the fleeting moments of life. Measuring 60" x 72", this acrylic on canvas features a shadowy figure traversing an abstract landscape, rendered in a symphony of warm and cool hues. Swaths of creamy whites and grays form a reflective surface, implying a transient path for the bold, red figure. Titus’s palette is emotionally resonant—vivid oranges and reds evoke a sense of urgency and passion, while the blues and whites offer a calming counterbalance, suggesting a contemplative narrative. The abstract background blurs the lines between reality and imagination, inviting the viewer to ponder the solitude and universality of the human journey. The title, "Passing By," reinforces the transient nature of the composition, echoing the temporal nature of human experience.
