Untitled 

Zoe Lerman created this untitled painting using delicate washes of color and fluid lines. The composition is dominated by a reclining figure, seemingly relaxed yet imbued with a subtle tension. The artist's application of paint creates a sense of transparency, with layers of color softly blending into one another. The painting exists within a liminal space between representation and abstraction, pushing against the conventional structures of portraiture. The figure’s pose and setting are only loosely defined, blurring the boundaries between subject and environment. This artistic choice reflects a broader engagement with semiotic instability, where fixed meanings are destabilized. By disrupting traditional visual codes, Lerman invites us to question established modes of seeing and interpreting the world. The artwork serves as a site for ongoing interpretation, resisting any singular, definitive meaning. The painting’s evocative power resides not only in its aesthetic qualities but also in its capacity to challenge and expand our understanding of representation.
