The artwork titled “Staying Grounded,” created by the artist identified as DZ in the year 2020, is a figurative piece that embodies an interesting and abstract composition.
In the artwork, the main focal point is a rectangular form, appearing almost oblong, adorned with vibrant patches of green and yellow hues, hovering against a backdrop of a serene, pastel-toned sky. At the base of this form are two black appendages resembling human legs, giving an illusion of a grounded figure. A cord, tethered to the form, extends downward and ends in a greenish, rectangular object, invoking a sense of connection or attachment to the earthly terrain below. The ground itself is richly textured with a mix of earthy tones, depicting an autumnal landscape teeming with reds, oranges, browns, and greens. The painting seems to explore themes of balance, connection, and perhaps the tension between the ethereal and the terrestrial.
