Oil Painting: “Brontë & Eliot”

Title: “Brontë and Eliot”, Artist: Bernice Troskie, 2021. 1220mm x 920mm Oil (mostly) on Canvas; 

The artwork extends around the frame, with the full title in Morse Code along the sides of the painting.

This artwork was largely inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, more specifically; the precarious feeling evoked by the novel. The way in which something can be at the same time; sacred, soft, and beautiful; in addition to feeling dangerous, heart-breaking, and painful. As the work progressed, a playful energy entered the stage; and T.S Eliot’s Owl and the Pussy Cat became part of the saga. Two love stories; two completely different emotions evoked, and yet part of the same human experience. We need to know the depths, to understand the heights; and to know that these precious energies in our lives each have their purpose and sacredness. When we see these variations moving in unity to create a greater and deeper truth; we understand that only when (as Homer would advise) we visualize loosing those precious things, can we truly appreciate them when they are still around. The full title of the painting is in Morse code along the sides of the canvas.
