The Swinger
20 × 16. Acrylic and collage on canvas. Unframed.
This painting blends elements of realism and abstraction, creating a striking visual narrative. The lower portion features a photorealistic collage of a woman wearing a flowing beige dress and high heels, appearing to be suspended in midair with her legs bound by ropes.
The upper portion of the painting contrasts sharply with an abstract expressionist background dominated by bold strokes of black, red, and white. The gestural brushwork and colour blocking add a dynamic energy to the composition, seemingly dividing the image into two distinct realms—one grounded in human emotion and the other in raw artistic expression.
The combination of collage, paint, and texture creates a surreal, theatrical effect, evoking themes of tension, passion, and movement. The interplay of bondage and support, restraint and freedom, adds depth to the painting’s narrative, making it both visually compelling and emotionally evocative.
