1st Concentration

This work of mine relates to my concentration on death through the symbolism of the cattle skull and the use of dark colors. This piece is meant to demonstrate the surreal perception of death and demonstrate the reverence given to that sense of the beyond and the after or end in the figures attire. The contrasting color scheme of red and green also demonstrate the divide given to death. The divide is also arguably demonstrated between the use of impressionistic and surrealistic painting techniques I may look to use contrasting elements in my future concentrations to keep alive this theme of a divide and separation given to death. It works in this piece keeping the viewers interest. i look to make themes more evident in future works.
