Woman sitting against a blood red background feeling depleted. I was trying to capture the feeling of just giving up. Sometimes when life knocks us down we find it difficult to get up. Through the use of colour I was hoping to evoke emotion. The intensity of the red symbolizes anger. The soft charcoal lines are drawn in to just give you a hint of her head with her face leaning down onto her arms almost like she is not really there but then by adding the orange which has less intensity or violence than the red it conveys energy, enthusiasm and balance. She is then calmed by the happiness of yellow in her limbs. I am trying to convey a message optimism and energy to show there is no denying she is there and very much alive. I wanted to create a modern contemporary feel. This artwork is printed on Hanhennuhle Photorag 308Gsm 100% cotton giclee print.

South Africa
Lyle Pettitt is a South African born artist who lives in Cape Town. Her love for fine art started at school where she took it as a subject. In 1995 she moved to Orlando, Florida where she furthered her art studies part time at The Crealde School of Arts. Here she took various courses in portrait drawing and painting whilst working as an apprentice in an art studio which specialized in fauve styles. During this period she learned to work with various mediums and gained significant painting experience. She moved back to South Africa and worked as full-time commission artist where she sold over 100 pieces of art but had never really settled on her style until 2000 where she delved into screen printing with pop art being her primary focus with her biggest influence being Andy Warhol. The subject of her work during this period focused on famous celebrities. Many of her works were exhibited at The Lisa King Gallery but unfortunately due to a family tragedy she stopped painting for 4 years. She has since found renewed inspiration and has evolved back into screen prints currently focusing on contemporary pop art primarily representing the female form. After losing herself through grief the realization set in that woman are the life form of every family. This forms the foundation of her subject matter which emphasizes the power of the female form. Her latest work is filled with vibrancy with a focus on bold contrasting colours.
