In this striking painting by Anna Dart, the use of abstraction helps the viewer imagine a couple, even though one of the characters is not fully visible. The depiction of the woman's arm holding the other hand, along with the suggestive positioning of the figures, implies the presence of another person. The painting creates a sense of mystery and intrigue, as the viewer must rely on their imagination to complete the picture.
The title "Time travelling" highlights the fleeting nature of the moment depicted in the image and also the powerful and transformative effects of the intense and high emotions. The title also adds a sense of uncertainty to the scene, as time travel is often associated with the unknown and the unpredictable.
In the fine-art world, a painting like this can be seen as a statement on the importance of embracing and celebrating the physical and embodied nature of human existence.
