ISTDLN
Cardboard, Acrylic

“JLH” is an acrylic on cardboard painting that is a portrait of a clown with a sad expression. The purpose of the painting is to challenge the artists’ own preconconceptions of others. Clowns are in the service industry, they are often deemed less than others or as sinister. The close up of the clown’s face reinforces his emotion, he is a human. Being too quick to judge narrows one's perception of the world.

”ISTDLN” is a painting of a clown spread out over several pieces of cardboard. It works in tandem with JLH, there is very little humanity present in this painting which leads to a lack of empathy from a viewer. The painting is from the eyes of someone who lacks empathy or judges too quickly, and because of this it is dull and dark. It directly contrasts the bright and vibrant colors of the second piece in this way. The beauty of the world can easily be lost if you close off your own self.
