By framing the 2 piece around the theme of visibility and aging I add a melancholic and deeply moving layer to my gallery, creating a strong dialogue with "The Joy of Age" collection by contrasting societal perception with the vitality I seek to celebrate
A pair of gentle, melancholic digital illustrations showing how society commonly portrays aging as a time of loneliness and fading visibility.
The Shared Style: These digital drawings use muted colours and soft lines to show quiet, solitary figures walking through a park.
The Common View: Unlike the bold, energetic paintings in the rest of the room, these pieces capture a gentle, sad feeling. They represent how our world commonly portrays aging as a time of quiet loneliness, losing family, or fading out of public sight.
The Contrast: By placing these softer, melancholy illustrations next to my massive, colourful canvases, the exhibition highlights the massive difference between how society expects older people to feel versus the loud, vibrant reality of actually Enjoying Age.
