16″ x 26″ – Oil Painting on Aluminum
Scott Hutchison’s Her Eyes Opened is a painting based on a graphite drawing found here. The title of this dual portrait speaks to the question of the self and it is meant to represent a moment of self discovery. The figure pictured here has just opened her eyes and we are seeing her transform, or dissolve. She understands who she is becoming and peers back at us as if to ask if we are ready. The double portrait represents her complex personality and her confident gaze suggests that she sees you.
