Diane Flick
The Divine Absence of Belly Button Lint, Oil Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
“Curiouser and curiouser,” quotes artist Diane Flick. In her playful and whimsical style, Diane pictures a blender with the limbs of a human and the crown of an animal. The anthropomorphic creature embodies the same comfort from its heart and breathes deeply in the warm, rhythmic, and glorious world. It perches on a pillow situated on a pine tree growing sideways from the dark cerulean sky.


About the Artist
Diane Flick is a Bay Area artist who paints quirky portraits of robots with a playful color palette and masterful realism. Each of Diane’s robots expresses its own humanlike and idiosyncratic personality. From an early age, she had a fascination with inanimate objects and often imagined what they would be like with human characteristics. Her portfolio explores the human experience through non-human subjects.

    Artist Comments
    "This painting celebrates the joy and the art of the frolic, the fanciful, and the free!" says artist Diane Flick. Loosely inspired by Mary Poppins with a nod to her in the title, Diane explores her playful imagination by drawing an expansive landscape with random and happy imagery conceived in pure delight. Having just given birth to her second child when beginning this piece, Diane spent that summer enjoying the new addition to her family, rolling down imaginary hills with childlike enthusiasm, wrapping herself in the sweetness of new motherhood again, and painting.
