You are to design a composition that involves at least three human figures physically interacting with each other. Your painting must be of a size that is larger than you are normally comfortable with. The narrative that combines these figures is completely up to you. The figures may be any scale necessary as long as they are formally essential to the composition (for example, I don’t want you making a painting where there is a single prominent figure with a couple tiny figures stuck in the background). You may use any visual reference necessary.
Think about the kind of narrative that might work with
multiple figures. There are plenty
artists that have dealt with such a subject.
Below are a few examples from Art History. Borrow as much as you need to from other
artists! However, don’t merely mimic the solution from another artist. Come up with a solution that is YOURS. Make work about the stuff that interests you
and that you tend to think about. Find your solution from your well of
experience.
Stevenson. After Matisse
Freud. Large Interior
Pontormo. Sacred Family
Spencer. Apple Gatherers
Currin. Thanksgiving
Katz. Round Hill
