Oil Painting

Artist Statement
“Here”? is part of a series of portraits that explore the sometimes ambiguous relationships between women and objects or their surroundings. For my work, I use oil paint to find the fluidity, I like to let emotion flow through the arm and then the brushstroke. I choose strong colors for the fleshtones to capture the liveliness running beneath the skin.
In this painting, benign nourishment – a bunch of carrots – is offered provocatively; it is deliberately outsized but not necessarily a threat. The lines of the carrots echoed in the figure’s shirt push her back behind her offering, further into the surface of the canvas, flattened to two dimensions in the backdrop.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
