I started painting this in the summer of 2019. I was working mostly from one photo as reference, for the person in the center of the canvas. I worked from a collection of other pictures to create the fruit behind them. I wanted to show someone in hues of light to dark, black and white with greys in between. They were meant to appear gone but perhaps[...]
I started painting this in the summer of 2019. I was working mostly from one photo as reference, for the person in the center of the canvas. I worked from a collection of other pictures to create the fruit behind them. I wanted to show someone in hues of light to dark, black and white with greys in between. They were meant to appear gone but perhaps preserved. The fruit behind them should look all the more bright and alive by contrast.

Oberlin has always been an artist, developing a love for fountain pens at an early age and deciding to train both hands to draw. They had heard adults talk about a spooky thing called ‘arthritis’. The artist is now ambidextrous.

Oberlin began having seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy during their freshman year of college. Art helped tremendously. 

Some of Oberlin’s paintings come from sketches. Some of the paintings are scenes and shapes that mutate from color. The commonality is expression. The sketches themselves come from dreams and conversations. Some of these ideas have ruminated for months or years. Others happened in a flash.

Any of the art that you see may have since been painted over, traded, donated, given away, eaten, burned, buried or destroyed.
