girl in swimming, yuga river
2022
A raw and expressive figurative work rendered in oil and charcoal on linen, this painting depicts a girl immersed in the flowing waters of the Yuga River with Childish's characteristically bold, gestural mark-making. The earthy, muted palette and rough linework convey a sense of primal connection between the figure and the natural landscape. True to Childish's outsider sensibility, the work resists polished refinement in favor of emotional directness and rugged vitality.
