After The Movies

I was inspired by the post Impressionist work which started to capture life in cities and focused more on people and objects. There is the work of Seurat for instance. I was also inspired at least partly by Hopper and the way he signified loneliness and solitude. But I also chose my own narrative and decided to present a bold feminist statement-here we are, a group of ladies, going back after watching a film. The city is a modern, tropical one and the buildings shimmer in the distance with colour-there is optimism and hope. We walk through a preserved colonial district that points to the past but is a recreational space to be enjoyed.
