About the Item

This 25.5" x 20" x 2.5" oil on panel work by Oklahoma-based artist April Dawes features three figures with the central figure, clothed in a deep red dress, being portrayed as someone unable to resist the urge to follow the siren until their own realm. The transparent figure behind her acts as her anchor to the natural world, attempting to keep her safe from what might await her on the other side. April Dawes creates figurative oil paintings that focus on themes of identity and connection relating to the human condition. Through the expressive and emotive nature of the human form, she explores the impact of key life experiences, society and community on the shaping of personal identities, with the aim of creating an emotional connection with viewers.
