Jeans #4 B (2019) Painting by Oberlin The Artist

Not For Sale

Sold by Oberlin The Artist

Here is a pair of jeans; one of a weekly uniform. These pants have been with me through my painting, brooding and creating. I've spilled all sorts of things on every pair of them - paint, gesso, coffee, water, paint thinner, powdered sugar, sweat, blood and tears.

Here is a pair of jeans; one of a weekly uniform. These pants have been with me through my painting, brooding and creating. I've spilled all sorts of things on every pair of them - paint, gesso, coffee, water, paint thinner, powdered sugar, sweat, blood and tears. This uniform is so crusty with physical proof of my labor, that they could probably stand up by themselves. And the real irony is, when walking out in the world, I get stopped and asked where I bought them.

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.
