Do I Repeat Myself? by Abbey Rosko

Do I repeat myself? 2020. Oil on paper. 8 x 15 in. In a dim room, a figure slouches in a mid-century modern art chair. We are looking at the chair from the side and it faces towards the right of the painting. The figure is a masculine silhouette with subtle inferences for skin, hair, collar and black suit. He appears to look back at the viewer but the eyes are indiscernible. He rests his right elbow on the arm of the chair, and holds his relaxed fist up. It is level with his head. The viewer’s perspective is low. To the right of the male figure is a side table with drawers, and a dull red colored lamp with grey figurines loosely rendered. Behind these elements is a window with the sheer curtains drawn shut. To the far right is the arm of a dark blue sofa.
