Original artwork description:
Hand-painted on to original book pages of the novel by Henry James ' The Portrait of a Lady '. published in 1880.
The Portrait of a Lady is the story of a spirited young American woman, Isabel Archer, who, in "confronting her destiny" becomes the victim of Machiavellian scheming by two American expatriates.
About the Painting
Hand-painted in Indian ink, with the original book pages mounted on cotton duck canvas and stretched over kiln dried quality wood stretcher bars.
The stretchers use aluminum dowels to ensure the painting is rigid, allowing the works to be hung without the need for framing (if desired). Work is 24mm deep giving the painting impact when hung.
About Cain’s Work
Cain creates beautiful and intriguing art imagery by painting carefully composed figures on vintage book pages. Any space between the figures exposes a background, which gives them context and narrative. The subjects are always turned away from the observer, seemingly engaged in the narrative, which remains magically elusive. As time continues to pass, the contemporary presence of the reader will age along with the older book pages. Interestingly, this ageing will be observed by future viewers of the painting.
