Wande George: Behind the scene

“Behind the Scene,” another painting George exemplifies his diverse style. Paying homage to cubist and modernist principles, George depicts the figure of a woman turning away from the audience of the painting, while holding onto a red robe. George asks us to consider the potentially fragile nature of this woman’s emotional state of mind through the unwillingness to cover her body with the robe. However, this resistance to clothing could prove to be a resistance in of itself: a woman with nothing to lose. “Behind the Scene,” above all else, shows a pristine appreciation for the woman’s form.

In a decades-long career, George has shown a perpetuity in self improvement and evolution.
