Figurative - Gary Markowitz Fine Art

Raw and Exposed - Out and About

These works draw from my personal journey of gender transition, reflecting vulnerability, resilience, and self-acceptance. The figure emerges through abstraction: lines dissolve, color becomes flesh, and the boundary between interior and exterior blurs. The series Raw & Exposed: Transition and Out and About chronicle an unfolding narrative — from the chaos of early transformation to the peace of self-recognition. The body is not depicted; it is felt. Each painting captures a stage in that evolution: emergence, ascension, integration, and serenity.
