Waking eyes 2022

"Waking Eyes," a 2022 painting by Zoe Hawk, depicts three women in a bedroom. One woman is lying on a bed, her face hidden in her hand, while another woman stands beside the bed, adjusting a red dress. The third woman is crouching by the bed, appearing to be trying to hide under the covers. The muted colors and realistic depiction of the figures suggest a sense of unease and mystery. The composition, with its emphasis on the women's bodies and their relationship to the bed, evokes feelings of vulnerability and introspection. The floral patterned wallpaper and the white four-poster canopy bed create a sense of intimacy and domesticity, which is juxtaposed with the women's seemingly troubled expressions, creating a complex and intriguing scene.
