This contemporary figurative work by Ginny Lloyd presents a haunting, emotionally charged portrait emerging from a loosely brushed field of cool blue and gray tones. The composition centers on a female figure rising from what appears to be water or an abstracted atmospheric space, her head tilted upward with eyes closed, suggesting themes of immersion, release, or transcendence.

The image combines photographic realism in the facial features with expressive painterly brushstrokes layered across the surface, creating a tension between clarity and dissolution. Broad, horizontal strokes partially veil the figure, reinforcing a sense of motion and psychological depth. The restrained palette emphasizes mood over narrative, a hallmark of Lloyd’s introspective and conceptually driven practice.

The work is executed on textured paper with deckled edges visible along the margins, indicating an intentional, hand-finished presentation. The piece is signed by the artist in pencil along the lower margin. No title, edition number, or date is visible on the front or verso based on the provided images.

Ginny Lloyd is a Florida-based contemporary artist associated with Fluxus-informed practices, photographic interventions, and mixed-media experimentation. Her work often explores identity, performance, and emotional states through layered imagery and nontraditional presentation formats.
