About Kiss with Honda

The artwork “Kiss with Honda,” created by Alex Colville in 1989, is a representation of Contemporary Realism within the genre of genre painting. It portrays an ordinary yet intimate moment set within a highly realistic and detailed context typical of Colville’s style.

In the artwork, a woman is depicted leaning into a car window, engaged in what appears to be an affectionate kiss. Her posture and placement indicate a deep level of intimacy and vulnerability, standing on a deserted road during twilight. The car, a Honda, serves as both a physical and symbolic vessel, its presence lending a grounded, everyday realism to the scene. The background features a dark horizon, softly illuminated by the last light of the day, adding a serene and contemplative atmosphere to the image. The detailed depiction of both the figures and the vehicle exemplifies the realistic precision and emotional depth characteristic of Contemporary Realism.
