Strength and vulnerability coexist within us all. The human form is, without a doubt, a perfect embodiment of this duality, and we can learn so much from it. In this original art piece, The Gesture, the woman's posture is an excellent example of the power of physical expression. Yi-li Chin Ward uses a mixture of charcoal line weights on canvas to emphasize the movement and add texture to the piece. The left side of the figure is presented as a sign of insecurity and fear, with the arm and leg folded in a tight embrace. On the opposite side, conversely, the body embodies strength, confidence, and curiosity with its outstretched assertiveness. She uses acrylics of complimentary colors--deep rich purple with equally saturated dirty mustard yellow--to radiate energy into the figure.
