Shoes

Lisa Milroy
Shoes
1985
Oil on Canvas

Milroy in this painting shows objects that are alienated from any context. It allows the viewer to focus on the positive and negative shapes that the shoes create rather than look at them like you usually do. By placing an ordinary object in this empty background it allows you to truly appreciate the shoe for what it is and the shapes that it creates all on its own. The way the shoes are placed represent rhythm and motion in a painting.
