Watercolour “Andrej”, 2014 by Anna Dart

 

 

 

The painting "Andrej” is a watercolour portrait of the Australian model and actress Andreja Pejić. The artist has captured their essence with just a few strokes of the brush, creating a tender striking image. The painting was created for the French magazine “Lash” and its Gender Issue (2014). It conveys a message of openness and self-expression, with a focus on gender and fashion.


The minimalist style of the painting emphasizes the subject's beauty, and it's a reminder that sometimes less is more. In this painting, the subject is captured in a way that is both intimate and powerful, and the way the artist has captured the subject's essence, is a representation of the fluidity of gender and the way it is portrayed in fashion. The subject's androgynous appearance is a representation of the way fashion and gender intersect, and the painting speaks importance of representation and inclusivity without boundaries.
