George Rouy

My work creates a dialog between image and process that lends itself to both conceptualism and formalism. The content is based around idealism, pulled from existing drawings found on the Internet, which I then manipulate. Using an illustrative style keeps the narrative very clear and readable for the viewer, as the line forms simply denote the subject they are depicting. In addition to this the form also allows the viewer room to consider their own interpretation of the narrative, which is aided by the interplay of reoccurring ideas within the history of painting, namely vanitas, phallic representations, gender and fertility.
