"Clowning Around" Art Print • Archival Matte Fine Art

“Clowning Around” is a visually striking and emotionally complex piece captured in a high-quality art print, based on Anna Carbone’s original oil painting.

The artwork portrays a woman costumed as a clown—dressed in tall black boots, a black skirt, and suspenders, yet bare-chested and boldly exposed. Her vivid blue hair, styled in pigtails, contrasts sharply with her monochromatic attire. In one hand, she floats a star-shaped balloon in the same vibrant blue—a symbol that oscillates between whimsy and introspection.

Through theatrical elements and raw vulnerability, Clowning Around explores themes of identity, performance, and emotional layering. The star balloon serves as a poignant focal point: a token of hope, irony, or unspoken longing, depending on the observer’s perspective.

Rendered in oil with lush texture and soft realism, this work captures the intriguing tension between performance and authenticity, humor and haunting presence.

Printed on museum-quality archival paper, Clowning Around is a powerful addition to any collection that values emotional depth, surreal figurative storytelling, and bold visual contrast.
