Title: Portrait of Wednesday Size: 30.48 cm x 60.96 cm Medium: Acrylic painting on canvas Completion: September, 2022 Exhibition Text Portrait of Wednesday is a relatively straightforward painting: it serves to visually demonstrate the immense appreciation and love I have for my pet cat, Wednesday. The desire to portray Wednesday in a grand, almost “royal” state ultimately came from my belief that animals and pets are wonders of the world; perhaps they are even superior beings, considering their genuine intelligence, innocence, and trust in others. Inspired by the work of Frida Kahlo and Pompeo Batoni, this painting highlights the beautiful creature that is Wednesday and is designed to respect her to the highest degree, as all of our pets deserve. |
