This was one of E-TEN’s later works, finished on March 5th of 2024. The piece was created over a two month period. This is how Helena looks at me (Malachi) sometimes. She has taught me how to play a more active role in my friends lives and as a leader in my own life. Making art with her is such a reflective process because it tells us many truths about ourselves. This portrait exudes the awkwardness of human interaction — how close can they be, physically and emotionally, before it feels uncomfortable, endearing, or inescapable?
(Blue Lady was created under the pseudonym EᐧTEN, in collaboration with Helena Nguyen)
36 x 48 in.
