{"product_id":"sharon-pitkin-hers-was-neon","title":"Sharon Pitkin - Hers was Neon","description":"\u003cp\u003eI paint Freda regularly. She doesn’t always look like her because Im painting my own story of energy and experience. When I paint her I am painting my own emotional connection to an energy I am feeling while Im thinking of her. Freda is so beautiful and iconic but she doesn’t always look beautiful when I paint her.  This painting expresses an energy of contrast. The monotony of life in the browns of varying flavours but a life still bright hence the neon halo. I’m not painting her or her energy at that time but my own feelings. I’d felt trapped in a place I didn’t want to be. Forced to live a life that didn’t feel like my own but still found satisfaction and value from regardless. Freda for me is a reflection of how I’m feeling. I hope the viewers connect with this piece in much the same way as a mirror only they can reflect to interpret expressing their own essence energy \u0026amp; experiences through her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharon Pitkin\u003c\/strong\u003e, Hers was Neon\u003cbr\u003eAcrylic and oil pastel\u003cbr\u003e79 × 50 cm\u003cbr\u003eFramed (130 × 75 cm framed)\u003cbr\u003eArtist location: Walkervale, QLD\u003cbr\u003eNoosa Art Prize 2026 Finalist, catalogue no. 43\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Non Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":48491516002530,"sku":null,"price":9360.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6246\/7298\/files\/GeaLRROzVF4LFoux13ObPp90rnyCFQZbEI79TcS5.jpg?v=1790147162","url":"https:\/\/thenongallery.com.au\/products\/sharon-pitkin-hers-was-neon","provider":"The Non Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
