Imagine by zlemon creates a dynamic portrait. The image is alive with a combination of moving, loose artsy strokes and grungy, bold stripes. The portrait of John Lennon is barely marked with neutral colors in impasto paint layers. The lyrics of the song are skillfully placed in juxtaposition to the vertical, large title - Imagine. This choice in journaling establishes a meaningful connection between the subject, the artist, and the viewer. The title dominates a vertical edge and the lines of text repeat the bold brush lines. An edge of white space creates a space of calm and rest. This use of space balances the portrait for a gorgeous visual effect.
