THE LANDING
Edward Povey
2007 - 2010
Oil on linen
40 x 44 inches
Signed and dated upper left
Perhaps most representative of the atmosphere of eroticism blended with a monumental religiousness, which characterizes Povey’s current direction, THE LANDING depicts a suitor climbing the stairs to a landing in a mid-20th Century European home where two young women, possibly sisters, languidly await him.
A chaperone sits in an adjoining room reading, and strangely resembling Lisa Minnelli in the 1972 Bob Fosse movie Cabaret, and based in a time period in which THE LANDING is based.
