@retoyman in partnership with @amblinroad. A celebration of E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. My good friends at Amblinriad asked me to do a few painting a for giveaways to celebrate E.T. The title and thought behind the first is Connecting:

This moment is implied in the film but what the audience sees is Elliot waiting all night sleeping on the Chaise Lounges in front of the garden shed to catch the thing he saw the night before but that nobody believes is real. I wanted to paint the moment when Elliot and ET made the physical/emotional imprint that connects them from this moment until they disconnect after they escape the makeshift hospital/quarantine inside Elliot’s home. Through out the film light acts a visual representation of emotional exchange. It starts with the flash light beam revealing ET and culminates with light from ET’s heart and finger trying to heal Elliot’s sadness when he leaves. #ettheextraterrestrial #stevenspielberg #speilberg #painting #acryliconpaper #minimalpallet #realism #film #1982 #retoyman
