All Of Us With Our Heroes 48”x44” Oil and Acrylic on Panel @kpprojectsgallery . . #repost Lola Gil described “All of Us With Our Heroes” as one of the most difficult painting she’s completed. Partly because of the technical aspect of painting; the 'Knight in Shining Armor’ glass bottle, natural landscape, figure, scale, depth and perspective…It’s a subtle beast of a painting. However, after speaking to Lola in more detail, I began to understand the emotional complexity of it as well, and how it epitomizes the range of feelings we’ve all been experiencing from the Covid-19 health crisis. . This painting honors all of the everyday heroes that are on the front lines protecting us and our planet from harm; from the fire fighters who fought to protect us from massive wildfires across the globe, to the nurses, doctors and medical staff on the front lines in hospitals risking their lives to save others during this unprecedented health pandemic. And for everyone working at any capacity to keep friends and loved ones healthy, sheltered, safe, fed, and emotionally supported...I see this painting with new eyes, and appreciation. It is an acknowledgement of the pain and sadness around us, but also the humanity and indescribable beauty. . As we move through each new day, I hope we can be “All of Us With Our Heroes,” through art and action, kindness and spirit. . - Merry Karnowsky . #oilpainting #narrativeart #narrativepainting #art #fineart #escapism #neosurrealism #contemporaryartist #weneedyou #heroes #covid_19 #artcollector #figurativeart #symbolism #knight #vintageglass (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_h5vEdgJm0/?igshid=15nk42ma9uy3
