OIL On Canvas
Two regular people with an extraordinary love. No matter how bad it gets they will prevail. This OIL ON CANVAS painting tells an exceptional story about love, conflict, compassion, resolution, and friends. It shows the couple dancing in a rainstorm, one person holding an umbrella over the couple, with the CANOPY protecting them from rain. Another person running for cover from the rain. It seems as if the dancing couple is completely ignorant of the rain.

The artist isn't talking about a light shower, he's talking about being impervious to the inconsistencies of life and trudging on for your significant other. This painting is a metaphor for the challenges of life. The young, happy, dancing couple is the CORE of the painting because

    Del Kathryn Barton’s trademark style of contemporary design and illustrative style are used effectively to create a motherly love emotion within the painting. Although there is a two dimensional appearance about each singular figure, stacking them together makes a three dimensional theme throughout the painting and with the use of line and detail in the foreground adds to these dimensions.…

    I have always been drawn to photographs that capture new love and romance. I love photography in general; especially weddings and engagement photos. Vittorio Matteo Corco’s painting, “When Love is Young,” can be viewed in the Appleton’s European gallery. It is a painting that was created in 1883 and has captured the attention of its viewers over two hundred years. The painting depicts a young man and woman who are very much in love. The couple is starring deeply into each other’s eyes, as if they are falling in love for the first time. The passion that the man and woman have for each other is what initially drew me into this painting, but I then became interested in the elaborate detail that Corco added. The man photographed is probably a poor sailor. He is dressed in a grungy outfit with cut off sleeves and has dirty hands. She on the other hand, is wearing her Sunday best; a beautiful, detailed and tailored gown with silk gloves and her hair elegantly pinned back. By the way he is peeking over the balcony, I assume they are sneaking around and trying to hide that they are contacting one…

    Couple under an umbrella (2013) is a simple name for a not so simple project, being 300x400x500cm this sculpture is of large scale and took one year to put together. Dressed in a plain, navy one-piece swimsuit, a short haired elderly woman is sitting beneath a colourful umbrella, affectionately contemplating her male companion whose head rest peacefully on her thigh. Frozen in time and shaded from the sun, the anonymous pair could easily be enjoying a relaxing day on the beach but instead, their pale, motionless bodies rest upon the concrete floor in an art museum in Paris, France. This realistic sculpture can suggest a variety of different emotions, situations and stories, giving the audience…
