Chris Pig Linoleum: Balance


Deena
39x33cm
Edition of 20

For the piece "Deena", Pig creates balance with differing line patterns.  For the model's body, the lines create a contour around her arms and face, making her appear organic against an artificial environment.  For the wall, Pig utilizes vertical line to contrast with the horizontal line on the table.  He also balances the piece with light; the left side is dark, which allows the gradient to shift to light.  This allows the model to appear as if she is emerging from the darkness of her surroundings.
