About the Item
Artist Comments
Blocks of vibrant pinks and blues, highlighted with yellow, radiate an uplifting sense of energy. While the figure appears firmly planted in the foreground, there is a subtle impression that she leans into a dynamic movement. This painting explores the theme of hope through light, shape, and color.
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.
