The unusual thing about “Both Sides Now” is that both sides of the canvas are painted. On one side are three, nude pale human figures floating through an abstract pool of navy blue, and on the other (from which this sneak peek comes) are two brown, nude human figures contorted across a bright red and green background. It’s tempting to regard this as a heaven/hell type of statement, but neither situation seems particularly appealing.
Found on the streets of Bondi, perhaps it was discarded because there was no more space left to paint and the artist moved on to a fresh canvas…
