"Leave Your Makeup On and I’ll Leave On the Light" is a striking painting by Sarah Joncas, a contemporary artist known for her hyperrealistic style. The work depicts a woman lying on a bed, a red telephone cord wrapped around her wrist. Her face is pale and her red lipstick stands out against the blood that has spilled across her pillow and onto the phone. Joncas’s meticulous detail creates a sense of unease, juxtaposing the femininity of the scene with the violence implied. The work is a commentary on the vulnerability of women in modern society, and explores the complexities of power and relationships.
