About the Item
It’s Okay, Little Crab (Sensory Overload) in a way feels like a self portrait, with the vacuum acting as a personified vision of time and societal expectation. The vacuum may never reach the crab, but its loud and disturbing presence will.
Samantha Van Heest explores the intimacy of impermanence through her work, utilizing still life, found objects, and portraiture through minimalist representation. Her paintings and drawings act as a visual catalogue for her memories, a secure physical representation of how she remembered a moment. Van Heest romanticizes the minutiae of everyday life, and seeks to communicate the monumental impact of ephemera by visually referencing select objects that symbolize what it felt to be within the scene. Through this examination of memory, Van Heest also explores herself as a multiracial woman, her femininity, and her experience processing intense emotions such as grief and trauma.
Samantha Van Heest's work is both personal and universal, a representation of self that unfolds to tell a unique and personal story to each viewer. She wants to discuss memory, how it defines the self, and how something so crucial to the makeup of our lives walks the line between reality and fiction.

«Sh*t Happens» Figurative Oil Painting by Samantha Van Heest
By Samantha Van Heest
Located in Oslo, NO
Shit happens sometimes. In this piece, the artist wanted to create an unsettling and claustrophobic space where people feel most private and vulnerable. Inspired by artist Tala Madani, she created a cartoon figure to act as the voyeur, a bright and unwelcome disturbance that cannot be ignored.

«Pull Shapes (Duet)» Oil on Canvas, Diptych by Samantha Van Heest
By Samantha Van Heest
Located in Oslo, NO
Pull Shapes (Duet) is a diptych that subtly explores surrealism, focusing in on the intimacy of the bedroom space. Pillows are this central point of comfort in our day to day, and the artist wanted to play with scale, mystery, and the night table drawer.

«Necklace» Figurative Oil Painting by Samantha Van Heest
By Samantha Van Heest
Located in Oslo, NO
This study takes inspiration from historical “reclining nude” paintings, most of which were painted through the perspective of the male gaze. The artist wanted to change the narrative and make the woman feel more empowered and dominant in her situation, aware of the power she holds.
