Inspired by a still from the 1977 horror film, "Rabid". This is the division of morality. A portrait of an individual cast mostly in shadow. The only portion of his face hit with light has no eye, leaving him to only see through his darkness. The bold heavy brushstrokes of this painting give an abstract quality where the shadows and light are transformed it into a dynamic and vibrantly alive scene. Georgia Hinaris Rabid oil on panel 18h x 18w in 45.72h x 45.72w cm GHS010 Horror films are the most profound and visceral of films, garnering the most extreme responses: vehement hatred and cultish admiration. Horror elicits a controlled neurosis while exposing the rejected weaknesses and brutalities of humanity. I embrace the power of cinema and its ability to alter perception, as it is media that is a reflection of our primordial desires. I’m fascinated by concepts involving the limits of human perception, the ambiguity of morality in relation to nature, the paradoxical nature of reality, and the human struggle to reckon with uncertainty. Humans bear the burden of being as we are, all caught in a flux of unbelievable cognitive abilities and animalistic instincts. Every painting is in its own universe and I cater to it. Nothing is precious. Chaos is embraced.
