About the Item

This contemporary doppelgänger fairytale by George Oswalt features an aging prom queen in her black and white silk duponi dress dancing in an autumn field. The woman with grey hair is centrally positioned on the canvas gazing out into space and swirls around with another full figure backside view with her face in profile. The female figure in black and white are in the foreground against a backdrop of lush green grass, autumn flowers and vegetation and a cloudy blue sky. "My paintings of figures and objects in vivid color are meditations on living in a hybrid world which has manifested into visual poems of beauty, yearning, time and space. I have spent years working in several series of paintings that deal with weightlessness, loss and life transitions. The imagery is intended to take the viewer on a journey of human yearning which is not merely marked by striving towards something but also by escaping from something." -- George Oswalt George Oswalt had his first one-man show in 1974 and since has shown in national and regional exhibitions including group and one-person shows. He received his MFA in 1993 from the University of Oklahoma. He has taught art in both high school and college over a 30-year period. Oswalt wrote an art review for the Oklahoma Gazette for two years and is currently painting full time. He is included in both private and public collections including the Fred Jones Art Museum in Norman, the Goddard in Ardmore the Mabee-Gerrer Museum in Shawnee and the Oklahoma State Museum of Art in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
