Masculism
By: Ray Chapman
With the advent of feminism as a byproduct of World War II, the gender roles in society have changed and are still changing. Society has evolved through feminism for the better, but it has left men in an different economic and social status.
Men cope with social injustice in a way that can be perceived as transitory and is harder to realize and/or be empathetic for. Through this series of paintings, the male figure is used in parallel with abstraction and color to evoke emotions frequently hidden by men. The rectangular shapes symbolize the identity of the man. This work is meant to peel away the tough layer to reveal the emotions trapped in men
