The Lakes
In these four new artworks, this artist continues his exploration of intimacy and delicate light and shadow by depicting solitary figures in idle repose. They sleep, read, bathe, lounge, and rest, granting viewers access to their private moments. Dapples of light dance across one figure from an out-of-frame window, shadowplay emerges from the folds of another’s pajamas, ripples of blue lap alongside a bather reading in her bathtub, and a never-ending staircase weaves its way up towards a figure asleep, building a dreamscape that blurs reality and fiction. As observers, Haynes allows us to share these highly intimate snapshots of quiet serenity.
Rowley Haynes’ art renders frozen, intimate moments of his friends and family. Delicately rendered with colored pencil, Haynes poetically captures transient or emotionally charged moments of human existence. His subjects tend to be isolated in serene scenes of loneliness, conjuring intimate vignettes of domesticity that call to mind artists such as Pierre Bonnard and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
