Nyi Loro Kidul, 2020, oil on canvas, 60x54 inches Ihave painted figures in waves before, and have painted them out. In this work, the figure is there only as an apparition. The title comes from the Javanese legend of a mythological figure—the Queen of the South Seas. I learned of her when I lived in Java, and was warned that if I wear a green swimsuit, she would make me part of her undersea army. #davidmolesky #figureinwater #oceanpainting (at Parangtritis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA2nkU7HzV5/?igshid=fqxr1oursbsq
