About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Robin Okun displays modernist figures with a lively interplay against a royal blue background. She adds painterly abstract designs to the women and the walls behind them. The dance of colors and marks keeps the viewer's eye interested and engaged. Robin paints with a loose yet intentional approach.


About the Artist
Robin Okun's work is both intimate and highly relatable. Her paintings reflect an incredible understanding of how we express ourselves in deeply personal moments. By focusing almost exclusively on body language and an emotionally evocative color palette, Robin encourages us to think about each character's story. And in doing so, we often find our own stories in her paintings. She layers charcoal and acrylic paint with vibrant colors, bold shapes, and fluid lines to depict forms inspired by live models, photographs, and sculpture. Robin’s visual voice is unique and recognizable. Through her work, she strives to celebrate the varied human form.
