“Shadow” is an evocative painting that speaks to the contemplative solitude that defines much of human experience, crafted by Asheville artist Carol Fetty.
This piece showcases a solitary figure seated, seemingly in reflection. Her shadow is
cast on the wall behind her, creating a subtle and intimate dialogue between light and darkness. The woman’s shadow has the silhouette of the Buddha, symbolizing that sitting still with our thoughts can be a spiritual, meditative, and enlightening experience.
The muted palette and soft, textured surfaces lend the artwork a timeless quality, while the interplay of shadow and form adds a layer of depth and complexity. The painting captures a moment of stillness that is both personal and universal, a testament to Carol Fetty’s skill in conveying the nuances of human emotion.
This work is an excellent addition to any collection, appealing to those who are drawn to introspective and narrative-rich art. It is an invitation to the viewer to embrace the quiet moments of reflection in their own lives, as there is so much reward in introspection.
