#floatingfigure

In light of events since last year I decided to make silence a virtue and a chance, to be enjoyed, rather than a punishment to be feared and loathed. I was please to notice that the figure could be floating as well as lying down. It's another of my very mixed media pieces, drawn on 30×40cm Arches Ingres paper mounted to board, using inks, ink pens, graphite, chalk, metallic pen, and glitter. The paper was quite unagreeable and clung stubbornly to the masking fluid I used, but I liked the colour so much I still put up with it - it has the same colour as those 60ies movie interiors.

• #lachaise Charles & Ray #Eames, 1948. Charles and Ray Eames designed the elegant lounge chair La Chaise for a competition at the #moma in #nyc in 1948. It was inspired by the ' #FloatingFigure ' sculpture by Gaston Lachaise. •Eames Elephant-Charles & Ray Eames, 1945. A prototype was given to Charles's 14-year-old daughter Lucia Eames and later borrowed for the exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946. It still survives in the Eames family archives today. #alltimeclassics

Each painting of @linda.stojak provides a journey for the viewer, but within the realm of this expressionist figurative painter there is also the emergence of a portrait—unfinished, evolving and transforming. Stojak’s figures are often incomplete in nature. The eyes, or often the whole face, smudged or blurred creating a feeling of recalling the memory of a loved one, while the shape of the hair, the color of lipstick or gesture of the body remain.

Each painting of @linda.stojak provides a journey for the viewer, but within the realm of this expressionist figurative painter there is also the emergence of a portrait—unfinished, evolving and transforming. Stojak’s figures are often incomplete in nature. The eyes, or often the whole face, smudged or blurred creating a feeling of recalling the memory of a loved one, while the shape of the hair, the color of lipstick or gesture of the body remain—a floating image or “stillness” as Stojak says. “These paintings deal with moments in time where you cannot move forward and you cannot move backward.” The figures read less as individuals, but instead as timeless memories that hover on the canvas like ghosts.
