About the Item

Mother 32.0 x 50.0 x 0.25, 5.0 lbs Oil Paint Signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "When you drive in the southwest, the landscape changes quickly. Every hour the sun rises or sets over views that cover hundreds of ecosystems. My whole life I traveled through scenes like this. I think from birth to death I feel connected to a landscape." 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. About the Artist: Emily Wisniewski is a contemporary painter who received her BFA from Northern Arizona University in 2018 on a full tuition scholarship. She continued her education in Italy and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from Maryland Institute College of Art. She has received awards including the LeRoy E.
