"Grimace" is a portrait of a girl capturing a selfie, embodying the spirit of rebellion and unapologetic self-expression. This painting channels the raw energy of a "wild child", reminiscent of Iggy Pop's anthem from 1986, who lives fiercely and defies societal expectations. Her face, caught in a playful grimace, radiates confidence and a devil-may-care attitude, challenging the viewer to embrace their selves without fear or hesitation.
In "Grimace," the girl's selfie becomes a powerful act of self-affirmation. She pulses with energy, symbolizing her refusal to conform. The vibrant palette mirrors the girl's vivacity, untamed spirit and belief in a colourful, joyous existence and reflects her inner turmoil and resilience.
This painting is a celebration of individuality and the courage to live authentically. It captures the essence of a free spirit who knows she is inherently good and deserving of happiness despite the world's judgments. "Grimace" invites viewers to find their rebellious streak, embrace their imperfections, and live boldly and unapologetically. It is a tribute to those who dare to be different, live on their terms, and find beauty and joy in their unique journey.
