Elaine Shor: Same Old Thing

Elaine Shor: Same Old Thing

SKU: 1046.

Repetition can lead to stagnation. How can old patterns be broken and new ones be adopted?

My large-scale figurative paintings feature iconic women in powerful poise. “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Is The Hand That Rules The World “ is a poem by William Ross Wallace that sets the tone for this series of paintings. The poem, written in 1865, praises motherhood as a preeminent force for change in the world, citing woman’s capacity for both tenderness and strength. My paintings reflect the embodiment of those dualities with strong female figures within masculine environments.
