Description
"The Dancer IN the Dance" a tribute to ISADORA DUNCAN
"The Dancer IN the Dance": Is a digital painting originating from a photo I took of a trumpet flower in my garden one early morning here in Asheville.. It was digitally manipulated leaving the viewer to find interpretations including joy and possibility. I chose hues to contrast with the backdrop and “romantic” lines that suggest movement in a space that is available between the lines.
This photo-art graphic is all about the "experience" of being The Dancer IN the Dance. There is a smile. There also is an invitation to a visual AHA! If, by plummeting into the visual narrative, you actually have an "experience" of Looking At and Looking Beyond...simultaneously... a poetic moment of pure potential... it could be a delightful thrill.
It is a tribute to the philosophy and dance of Isadora Duncan.
Theme and Symbolism: : In this piece for the Isadora Duncan on Blue Velvet series, the focus is Isadora’s "DANCE." Here I refer to the many curving lines and colorful elements. (It was Isadora's philosophy and actual practice to create art as uninhibited dance.).This piece is symbolic of fluidity, release, letting go, dismissal of rigidity and structure as is typical of traditional ballet. The visual story emphasizes the fraught process of selection we—each of us-- face daily—that being the choice to look for beauty and possibility in what is around us.
The use of the “blue velvet” backdrop in the entire Isadora Duncan series refers to the ephemeral beauty of the dance she created. In this paintography piece, the juxtaposition of color with changing light also symbolizes positive change through envisioning different perspectives.

Digital Abstract
THANK YOU
Story and Method: : ISADORA DUNCAN has been praised as the ultimate performance artist -and mother of modern dance- for she “...placed an emphasis on ‘evolutionary’ dance motion, insisting that each movement was born from the one that preceded it, that each movement gave rise to the next, and so on in organic succession. Her dancing defined the force of progress, change, abstraction and liberation.
Here, I reach out for the story and metaphor in a visual narrative via texture, patterns, repetition that meet in a feeling of lyrical abstraction. These elements offer a sense of coming together - a collection of concepts and forms that take shape.
** This artwork is available in a variety of framed and unframed gallery-quality prints, home décor items such soft and durable duvet covers, fabric shower curtains, and throw pillows as well as greeting cards and weekender totes.
***Grateful for showing your support by liking my work here. thank you.
Zsanan Studio Notes
RELATED QUOTATION: "In 1890, the psychologist and philosopher William James described ‘Cerebralists’ as ‘those who combine the sensual and spiritual, the physical and intellectual’ in their creations. I meld abstract and representational forms with sensual and conceptual elements, using all mediums and means of communicating [showing] how the mind is connected to all of its creations: from the words we use to describe our thoughts and feelings to the technologies we build to see everything in the world words cannot fully describe... .” ~Todd Siler
