This is painting No.142 entitled, "The Ballerina" which i painted very early this month (July 2010) on a 12x12" canvas.Here i have attempted to capture the unbearably thwarted career.The Girl is viewing herself for the first time in ballet class in the mirror following some kind of enigmatic tragedy and turns from the mirror towards us in utter mental despair.It has the "Christopher Reeve" quality of once being a Superman in terms of exceptional ability, only to have that cruelly stripped.Of course the wheelchair could be a metaphor for a drug addiction which can also degenerate performance.Sold to Israel.
