“Portrait of C.T.” 2021. Continuing the exploration of mimetic figurative art’s ability to reconcile the external performative self and the internal sincere self. #art #drawing #portraiture #contemporaryart https://www.instagram.com/p/CLKCykAFaKi/?igshid=4ik2ll72ok37

to all my non okie friends. I told you Oklahomans don’t give a fuck about the weather. This is why. In a couple months this giant red dirt ice skating rink will turn into a baked clay hell scape. In between that time?🌪⛈🌩⛈🌧🌪🌪 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHRTQpF-Tl/?igshid=un3210b3129b

“Portrait of J.C.”, graphite on paper, 2020. These drawings are the beginning of an exploration between the ”performative self” and the “actual self.” While those selves overlay tightly with some, they may vary greatly in others. The act of sitting for a drawing or portrait is an exercise in directed isolation. The artist eventually fades and the sitter becomes alone with themselves. In this moment themselves align creating a new and perhaps more complete image of the subject. #drawing #art #painting #figurative #aliseradge #perfomativeself #actualself https://www.instagram.com/p/CJWg4nIFnFR/?igshid=1xseqqstwkcpc
