The End of a Lonesome Road 2016

Jana Brike's 2016 painting "The End of a Lonesome Road" depicts a young girl riding a unicorn through a forest path. The unicorn's coat is covered in intricate tattoos, while its mane is adorned with flowers. The girl's expression is serious, suggesting a sense of determination or perhaps even sadness. Brike's work often explores themes of childhood, innocence, and the passage of time. The girl and unicorn's journey through a magical forest suggests a coming-of-age story, and the unicorn's tattoos, like a map of their journey, add to the mystique of this narrative.
