Snowman no. 5
Oil
A snowman gestures outward on an icy ground, flanked by small objects and a dark blue backdrop that makes the figure read like a performer.
Curatorial note
Gesture is the subject as much as snow. The figure seems to address the viewer, pulling the small winter scene into a direct exchange.
Installation note
Place it beside the other snowman works so the different attitudes can accumulate. It also makes a lively transition into the wider winter landscapes.
