Artist Name (b. 1985, City, Country; lives and works in City, Country) creates paintings that explore human connection through intimate, large-scale compositions featuring androgynous figures.

Highlighting nodes of deep affection while allowing room for interpretation of gender and kinship, the artist offers viewers a personal connection to the work. Leaving figures and spaces they occupy simple and at times unfinished, the large-scale oil paintings celebrate often marginalized individuals by emphasizing their vibrancy.

“I explore my figures’ relationship towards each other, objects and the spaces they occupy and exist in. I like to produce images that tell a story or a memory… a place in time.”

The pastel palette alludes to gender color norms and compliments the skin tone of the figures. The warmth of color blurs the line of platonic relationships and introduces conceptual elements that challenge apprehensions over positive and negative space.
