Title: Japanese Women
Medium: Oil Painting on Masonite
Size: 112 x 48 inches (285 x 122 cm)
Creation of Year: 2000
Style: Stylized Realism/Symbolism

Description:
Japanese Women are a polyptych and I used four Japanese women as subjects from four different generations. Each woman has a different expression on her face and they are holding the Noh masks with different manner. Individually they represent Innocent, Jealousy, Anxiety, and Enlightenment. Emotions are intangible and lurk deep inside of humans. Sometimes they show up on the surface but other times they hide within us. I substituted these intangible feelings with the masks, which have symbolic meanings to represent the feelings.

Reminds me of the film The red lantern where concubines/wives are against each other yet supportive.
I’ve not seen the film…is it Japanese film?
