Loner draws on shades of moss, olive, and forest green contrasted by the depicted figure’s scarlet hair. Beneath the equally red nose, the lonely Whole Foods shopper bites her nails so intensely that it seems she might soon swallow her entire hand.
Caught between agitation and paralysis, the edgy millennials we encounter in Rapone's work inhabit a somewhat delicate vulnerability. Here, the theatrical anticipation of doom meets the pleasurable suspension of its arrival.
