Natalie Pivoney’s Crown Shyness is a fundamentally human painting devoid of an immediate human presence. Bars are the stomping ground of the worst and best of humanity. They are spaces where people pack in like sardines with the express and sometimes desperate mission to socialize. People find love, hate, friendship, violence, and kindness within the dimly lit watering holes of the world. They shed layers of convention and decorum and socialize with increasing eagerness and freedom as they imbibe. People we thought moral are revealed as bad, people we thought boring are revealed as exciting, and people we thought timid are revealed as intrepid. The entire spectrum of humanity is on full display in bars, which is why we feel a powerful human presence in Pivoney’s hauntingly lifeless scene.
