Every Stranger, Stranger

Honorable Mention

Ned Gannon

acrylic on arches

“The title of this painting is Every Stranger, Stranger. It is from my series, For Every Truth, A Fiction which explores places I frequent from two distinct vantage points. The idea came from society’s current struggles with what information to trust and what information to distrust. I like the idea of a painting as an example of information left to a viewer to interpret. In this painting, I was thinking of how, once the pandemic was in full swing, I would walk my dog and I didn’t know how to interact with people I would encounter. It was like meeting Bigfoot on the street – should I say hello, or run? Every stranger became stranger.”
