Japanese Camelia

About Artwork: In this painting I reference a Japanese Camellia that I sketched while on my daily walk. The compositional structure is akin to the pleasure-loving paintings of the Rococo. I specifically looked at the power dynamic between retreat and control in "Happy Lovers" by Fragonard. The abstracted glitchy strokes combined with the more controlled flower motif activate shifts in attention between expansive and narrowing of our visual aperture, which in turn affects our sense of time perception.
