Hand signed by me at the bottom. From an ongoing watercolor series of the human form. I call them my \"body imprint\" series because they mimic that of the body being pressed against glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy body imprint paintings are a practice in subtraction. I eliminate as much of the body as allows, and the whole process is intuitive…similar to a blind line contour. Building it in transparent layers, I focus on the flow of the human form. The end result always has unexpected elements that I adore\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've always been fascinated with the relationship between the mind and body. We are interchangeably linked to our physical selves and there is a direct connection between our mental and physical states in everything that we do. I address the human form by combining both realism and elements of abstraction and spontaneity in order to show the ambiguous and mysterious nature of the human mind. I like the juxtaposition of the body next to a clean white background. For me, although the white background is technically \"blank space,\" it also has a weight to it. Like the figure is floating in this opaque space that has infinite depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meredith Oneal Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43087159001222,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/7270\/9254\/files\/43ae0b04-92ce60_039f3b395b3249b891d571b37dfeda8d_mv2.jpg?v=1769710232","url":"https:\/\/www.meredithoneal.com\/products\/body-imprint-11","provider":"Meredith Oneal Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
