Two Hands Magazine - Issue 1 "Etiquette"
Figurative painting is having another moment. It’s everywhere—on gallery walls, in magazines, flooding our feeds. But this resurgence isn’t happening in isolation. It’s unfolding alongside the most saturated image culture we’ve ever seen.
Painting and photography are entangled in ways we can’t ignore. A painted figure today isn’t just a painting—it’s layered over the endless images we scroll past daily. Yet despite their closeness, these two worlds rarely meet on equal terms.
TWO HANDS is intended as the beginning of a project, with no explanatory texts; no distractions; just visual. A call to pause. To look closely.
