"Womanizer"


The edges of the painting are painted red to highlight the red legs.

Title: "Womanizer"
Size: 40x40"
Medium: Mixed media

 With this piece I wanted to highlight the different ways that woman are portrayed in the media. Therefore the black and white photos in the background of the piece are cut outs from various different fashion magazines over the past three years. I pasted the photos into a collage on the large canvas in creative and interesting ways to create intrigue when the images are looked at individually. Then to create unity within the piece and highlight the overall theme I painted the large high-heeled red legs. I chose the color red because it's harsh and pops next to the black and whites. It also brings an intensity to the piece.
