Human Gesture as Icon.
Depict a human doing something, but without really including the human figure. Hmmmmm. I was thinking of a painting called Improvisation 26. Vassily Kandinsky,1912. Huile sur toile, 97 x 107.5 cm.
We can tell, with little information, that people are rowing....just as we can just as we can tell from far down the street that someone is hailing a cab or waiting for their phone app to work. This is what I take from Kandinsky's 1912 improvisation. Check out this link but come back!!.

Sharon Hogg is a visual artist working in Calgary Alberta and Lombardy Ontario, Canada. She holds a Bachelors of Fine Art and a Masters of Fine Art from the Alberta College of Art and Design.
Where humans intersect with unseen natural forces, she imagines what lies behind or beneath the surface. More than seeing, she wants to feel the backstory, the understory, the glue that holds it all together. Her work seeks to bring that underlying level of awareness closer to the visible and the touchable.
The Sublime, New Materialism and the Vorticists are influences.
