Date Night
Oil on Canvas
A single glass of wine. A dimly lit restaurant. The city hums beyond the window, alive with movement, yet here, time stands still. Date Night is a study in contrast—between presence and absence, intimacy and solitude, connection and distance, leaving space for the viewer’s own story to unfold.
As part of the Duality Series, this piece challenges perception: how a title alone can direct interpretation, yet the viewer’s own experiences shape the meaning. Accompanying this painting are two poems—two opposing realities of the same scene. One of solitude. One of intimacy. Both existing within a possible moment in different realms.
This creation is accompanied by original poetry written by the artist, enriching the emotional connection to the piece. Pricing and availability are listed below.
A crowded room.
Silence resonates as my shield.
Dishes rattle. Chatter echoes.
Nothing to penetrate my absence in the moment.
I am solitary
as you talk over the words on my tongue.
I am in the car rushing past,
transported away.
I am leaving amongst the crowd of patrons,
to vanish.
I am only free in my thoughts.
Trapped in this moment.
An uncrowded room.
My lover’s hand over mine,
resting at home on his thigh.
Transported through conversation.
A minute is now the time of eternity.
Delectable time.
Time eluded.
The staff beckons us to depart.
I take no heed to the cars rushing past
nor patrons that have since exited.
Leaving in embrace,
my thoughts run free.
Longing to remain
trapped in this moment.
