"Memoirs of the Macabre: Requiem in Rouge"





This is a one of a kind, original, signed piece of artwork. It is a volumptous nude female mannequin adorned with layers upon layers of vibrant reds, deep coppers, soft golds, and rich blacks. There are multiple textures and techniques used to give this piece depth and tons of personality. It oozes of the darker underbelly (literally) of society. Delicate, twinkling stars done in white pearlescent paint and real pieces of crushed pearl mica are scattered across the whole painting. Metallic gold gothic leaf scrollwork is accented with large flecks of crushed gold mica. Micaceous iron oxide is used to create the wrought-iron looking embellishments. A huge flock of tiny bats cascades from her shoulder all the way down her body. Over all of this is an enormous black spiderweb, complete with delicate dewdrops.
Finished off in a high gloss varnish, and trimmed with black satin cording, this piece will definately be an interesting conversation piece for any room! It is lightweight and easy to hang. It comes with a hook and a black satin ribbon, so you can have your choice of how to display it. This piece is signed and dated. It will never be recreated, as each piece evolves into its' own creation as I work.

This mannequin is for sale at Raven's Wish in Janesville WI, please contact www.ravenswish.com to purchase.
