When Gravity Fails 2015

Adam Caldwell's 2015 painting, "When Gravity Fails," depicts a dynamic scene of a woman in a white dress reaching towards a glowing light while a man in a white shirt grabs her arm. The figures appear to be performing a theatrical or dance performance, with the backdrop hinting at a stage setting. Caldwell's use of dramatic lighting and a sense of movement creates an atmosphere of suspense, leaving the viewer to wonder about the context and narrative of the scene.
