An Actor's Muse - Denise Souza Finney

An Actor's Muse by Denise Souza Finney Painting 9.0 x 12.0 :: An Actor's Muse began with a conversation. The model who sat for this painting spoke at length about her life as an actor — the fears the anxiety the particular excitement of a vocation that asks you to inhabit someone else entirely. You could hear that her art was her life. As I painted I found myself wondering about that threshold: what it takes to step into a character and what remains of yourself when you do. The painting holds both. A figure stands in full light direct and present while a second form — darker more abstracted — presses in from the right. Whether that shadow is the role waiting to be inhabited the self being left behind or something that follows wherever she goes the painting doesn't say. That ambiguity is the point. Painted on acrylic on a 1/8 inch wood panel 9×12 inches with the layered gestural brushwork characteristic of the Bay Area Figurative tradition. The cool blue ground and flashes of warm yellow and red keep the figure alive against the weight of the shadow beside her.
