The artwork titled “Wilderness” was created by Lisa Yuskavage in 2009 and belongs to the art movements of Fantasy Art and Kitsch. This figurative nude painting (nu) features bold and imaginative elements, characteristic of Yuskavage’s unique style.
In this artwork, two prominent female figures are depicted in a surreal and dreamlike landscape. The woman on the left, dressed in a vibrant yellow dress with matching striped socks, seems to be engaged in a contemplative or whimsical activity, holding a white bowl with two apples. Her posture is relaxed, seated on the ground with one knee raised, and she gazes into the distance. The other woman, partially hidden by a small mound of rocks and vegetation, is wearing colorful striped stockings, and her position suggests a more secluded or introspective demeanor. The background features an ethereal sky with gradients of warm hues leading into cooler tones, creating a mystical ambiance. The landscape stretches into a hazy distance, evoking a sense of infinite wilderness and fantastical isolation.
