About "Living in the Shadows"
There is potentially a lot ‘hidden’ in this artwork – beyond that which is revealed to the eyes of the viewer. The artist seems to want the onlooker to take time to understand what the painting reveals to the mind. The inner essence and largely patriarchal set up of our society has ensured that women live in the shadow of the men in their life.
The artist is possibly communicating a generalization of the cultural and historical understanding of the female gender. The painting seems to describe the varied situations of women with regard to men, but expecting the viewer to explore the predominant intent. The piece of art inherently encourages its viewers to delve deeper to find its true meaning.
