Unlike the curated 'good' version of life so often presented on social media, I was impressed by his candid posts, including experiencing anxiety, depression and self doubt, and I thought he's helping reduce stigma and educate so many. This helped me in the composition of painting to depict the theme of education.\" wrote Watson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to Chiron and Achilles who are engaged in a lesson of archery, Alexis engages us - Watson's reminder of a contemporary audience and the activism and education of Alexis' Instagram followers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmerald green and Prussian blue fabric offer an important counter balance to the overall composition, and Watson's masterful placement integrates Alexis as part of the group and offers a provocative and convincing scene where modern meets classical.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ross Watson","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":20735349457007,"sku":"LEP-M-01\/17","price":660.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":20735349489775,"sku":"LEP-L-01\/17","price":990.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0051\/6381\/0927\/products\/untitled0117_bf827959-7256-468c-a2e0-eca5e72896a7.jpg?v=1557821813","url":"https:\/\/sstore.rosswatson.com\/products\/untitled-01-17-after-jean-baptiste-regnault-featuring-alexis-2","provider":"Ross Watson Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
