Description This was a tough drawing to finish. I wanted it to look both scientific and a little mystical. The two women on the outside are scientists and the figure in the middle in an android. I wanted the scientists to fade into the background a little and I had to have all hands on their creation. I wanted them to be a bit god-like I suppose. I designed their creation to be a bit impossible looking. Like a barbie. She's beautiful but very few people can actually be that beautiful. I wanted to draw the scientists with more depth. For example the one on the left wears her lab coat buttoned up and her undershirt zipped up all the way. The one on the right is completely opposite. I also drew her with glasses. The android is so 'perfect' she's abnormal, strange, and doll-like. I feel like humans would definitely create unrealistic androids like this. Maybe without realizing it even, we just want to exaggerate and over correct ourselves until we become something completely different.
Alyssa Stehle, Lincoln Member Since August 2015 Artist Statement I grew up in Chicago Illinois but currently live in Lincoln Nebraska. I've been drawing most of my life, and because of that, it is a major part of my life. Early on I was influenced my my mother and great grandmother's art combined with the rising popularity of anime in the 90's. As a teen I became mesmerized my surrealism and dada. Now it seems I'm easily influenced by retro kitsch. I love collecting prints!
