The actress (study)

by Angie Quick

The oil painting “The actress (study)” is a work that explores the performance of sexuality. The painting borrows from imagery of the stage and asks the viewer what production are they witnessing. The title announces a role and the addition of “study” is both a wink to the theatre while also the idea of small paintings as rehearsal.
