About the Item
"Bardot," a 40" x 30" oil on panel by Shana Wilson, is a contemporary homage to the iconic French actress and sex symbol, Brigitte Bardot. Wilson captures Bardot's allure through confident brushwork and a palette dominated by bold reds and warm flesh tones, accented with contrasting blonde hues. The intense gaze and slightly parted lips convey a sense of the subject's famed sensuality and indomitable spirit. The backdrop's singular color amplifies her presence, while the painting's expressive style nods to Bardot's impact on fashion and cinema. This portrait is not just a visual celebration but a visceral connection to the charisma of its muse.
About the Artist:
Over seven billion souls exist on this planet, each with a unique face and story. Shana transfers her visceral love for the human landscape to canvas, tenderly cradling its peaks and valleys, darkness and light, colors and neutrals, empty and full, hard edges and soft curves. Each brush stroke creates a controlled cacophony as it assembles the intricate jigsaw of the human face. An entire life’s journey is written on this human landscape; a journey that begs to be documented and treasured. Shana’s legacy project is to paint inspirational women from all walks of life, inclusive of all cultures and orientations. The subjects all have one thing in common; the ability to inspire and create social change. She pays tribute to them on canvas, painting a long overdue celebration of trail-blazing women. Visit any major gallery or museum in the world and it is teeming with paintings of nude women in states of subservience to erotica. Contrast this with the paintings of clothed men in states of strength and power. These are the images school children see on their field trips. We MUST flip this artistic marginalization on its head. The art world must work quickly and diligently to change the balance of how women are portrayed on canvas.
