Artists statement
In “Unfinished,” Diana Vanstone presents a hauntingly beautiful and thought-provoking tableau that challenges our gaze. It invites us to explore and ponder the mysteries of human existence. This remarkable painting features an anatomical representation of a woman’s upper body, rendered as an uncompleted hollow sculpture.
The model is posed with head on hand and looking out as if pondering its own interpretation of the viewer. The subtle tilt of her gaze suggests a deep introspection. Perhaps inviting us to consider our own place within the tapestry of human experience.
Vanstone’s masterful use of color and composition creates a sense of unease. It is like the very act of gazing upon this unfinished form is an act of completion in itself. The sculpture’s hollow interior seems to reverberate with the echoes of our own thoughts and emotions, drawing us into a realm where the boundaries between artist, subject, and viewer blur.
The flowers growing amongst the sculpture’s openings serve as a potent symbol of growth, renewal, and transformation. Their petals unfurl like tentative fingers, as if seeking to grasp the very essence of human experience. The juxtaposition of these tender blooms with the unfinished, hollow form creates a sense of tension between the forces of creation and destruction.
In “Unfinished,” Vanstone presents a work that is at once both intimate and universal. It is speaking to our shared experiences of self-discovery and the quest for meaning. This painting rewards repeated viewings, its layers of meaning and symbolism inviting us to return again and again, like petals unfolding in slow, deliberate motion.
