Original acrylic painting by Marion Yeo. Collage painting of the female The painting is on a 16x20" stretched canvas and painted round the sides so it can be hung without a frame, or framed as you wish. (Please note that paintings will take slightly longer to dispatch during school half term holidays as I normally go away for a week.) This painting is a collection of ideas from my thoughts about 'the female'. The background is my version of Gustave Courbet's Origin of the World, simplified into a basic black shape on a flesh coloured background. The painting includes both the female and male faces as you can't have female without male. The vase represents the female as a vessel and shows the hourglass shape typical of the female body. The close up of the flower is inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe's flower paintings which look a bit like the female genitalia. The lioness and cubs represent female strength, and protective and nurturing qualities. The peaches represent feminine curves and softness. More paintings by Marion Yeo |
