Allegory of a Failed Marriage

Published:

Description

Done for my Illustrative painting class. The assignment was to create an allegorical scene featuring two or more figures.

the Full title of this piece is "Allegory of a Failed Marriage in Three Parts" The Three parts being the three types of figure meant to representing three stages of a failing marriage. the figure studies in the back representing the premeditation, or "knowing" the relationship is going to fail, the center figures wrestling in a spiral of white rice representing the actual fighting stage of the relationship and the eventual spiral out of control and the skeletal figure in the back ground bathed in the eerie green light representing the inevitable death of the marriage.

The two models I used for this piece are my friends really life boyfriend and girlfriend Trace and Megan. They've been together as long as I have known them and this piece is in no way reflective of there relationship (at least as far as I know).
