Family History of Disorder

Alexis Ruff

2019 - acrylic on canvas
A woman with angel wings, a single tear, and red hair reaching out to a grim-reaper animalistic figure holding two young girls in pink dresses. The angel is bound by her wrist with a rope that extends off the canvas. A car is sinking into the ground. A plume of black smoke frames the composition. There is a road in the back with car tracks veering off, implying a car crash.
