New sign painting on wood paneling, 10x10” each, acrylic + enamel paint.
I saw an advertisement for the film ‘She Said’ on a news website and I liked the text’s ambiguity. It made me think of King George’s song in the Broadway show, Hamilton. (of course in that song the king sings, you say, not he said.) Anyway... I wanted to paint just the words ‘She Said’, but when I thought about it it felt as though it could use a partner. So She Said - He Said… seemed like a good fit!
These signs were made for a successful husband and wife couple that lives in Chelsea, NYC. The fact that they have a transgender daughter kind of makes the work even more interesting. Lots to think about.
Like most art, I think it would look better if it was big. But for now, it serves its purpose. Maybe I’ll make a bigger version of it sometime in the future
