The Moon 2020

Zoe Hawk's 2020 painting "The Moon" depicts a young girl in a white dress and turquoise skirt, with her arms outstretched as she stands beneath a crescent moon. The moon appears to be a costume piece that the girl is wearing, and five yellow stars are scattered around her. The overall scene appears to be a whimsical and playful take on the night sky. Hawk's use of bright colours and simplified shapes contributes to the childlike aesthetic of the piece, reflecting the artist's interest in contemporary figure painting.
