The Line

Artist  Annelies Gentile Medium Mixed Media (silver pearl white acrylic paint, grit medium, silver mica, magnets, and mini-canvas suspended by monofilament line on canvas and wood) Category  Abstract Dimensions Triptic panels (24"x30") 72"x90" Artwork Description The Line" represents men's mental health; the search for meaning and movement towards improvement of men's mental health and the resistance to be fully seen.  "The Line" explores the unspoken, hidden and sometimes destructive ways men hold in and hold back how they really feel, either because they don't feel safe to emote or don't know how. "The Line" represents aspects of mental health that sound and look like, the "line in the sand", "the snapping point", the need to be enough, and subsequent unspoken anger and shame. "The Line" is a gentle invitation, a soft intent to be present to one's development of inner awareness, expression and personal growth. Its message: you are enough.
