A young female person, still expected to listen. Same motivational poster format as Genius, one word and one definition, except this is not a definition anybody would hang in a hallway. The painting spends its entire surface arguing with it.
Same process. The portrait goes down first in latex, then the same stamp repeated over the top of it in a grid, blue this time, across her face and the stark yellow raincoat.
One stamp steps out of formation and lands over the word GIRL. On the Picasso, that break is venom leaking up into the praise. Here it runs the other direction, her own strength printed straight over the top of everything the word is supposed to mean.
In both paintings the grid is what society decided, and the one that breaks rank is what was actually true. Hung together, the pair of them ask the question the whole collection is built on. Does the one stand out because of the crowd, or does the crowd create the one?
