serie "Naked Fortunes : Portraits of Barbie and Dollars"
In Kumikaho Oshima's mesmerizing series, "Naked Fortunes: Portraits of Barbie and Dollars," each canvas unfolds a tale of intimacy, wealth, and societal reflections. With meticulous strokes, Oshima intertwines the vulnerability of nude Barbie dolls with the symbolic power of currency, creating a visual dialogue that challenges conventional norms.
In "Ephemeral Elegance," a centerpiece of the series, nude Barbies are delicately posed amidst cascading dollars. The canvas becomes a tableau of fleeting beauty and the transient allure of wealth, inviting viewers to contemplate the ephemeral nature of both material and aesthetic pursuits.
"Canvas Desires" presents an intimate exploration where the human form, stripped bare, coexists with the painted representation of monetary value. Oshima's brush captures the complexities of desire, intertwining personal longings with the materialistic cravings represented by dollars and the iconic Barbie doll.
As the series unfolds, "Bare Ambitions" showcases vignettes of vulnerability and aspiration. Here, Barbie dolls, stripped of societal veneers, stand in stark contrast to the surrounding wealth depicted in the form of carefully painted dollars. The paintings beckon the observer to ponder the intricate relationship between personal ambitions and the pursuit of financial success.
In "Exposed Reveries," Oshima invites viewers to witness the revelations embedded in her artistry. Nude Barbie dolls become conduits for societal reflections, symbolically laid bare amidst a backdrop of intertwined dollars. The canvas transforms into a mirror reflecting the collective aspirations, vulnerabilities, and societal ideals of the viewers themselves.
"Naked Narratives," a thought-provoking piece in the series, captures the essence of Oshima's exploration. The portrayal of nude Barbies becomes a metaphor for the raw, unfiltered human experience, while the presence of dollars adds a layer of complexity, symbolizing the societal constructs that shape personal narratives.
Through "Naked Fortunes: Portraits of Barbie and Dollars," Kumikaho Oshima masterfully orchestrates a visual symphony that transcends traditional boundaries. Each canvas serves as a mirror reflecting the multifaceted nature of human desires, societal values, and the interplay between the tangible and the ephemeral. In Oshima's hands, the combination of dollars and Barbie dolls becomes a profound exploration of wealth, vulnerability, and the naked truths that reside within us all.

- Travelers Mind MapLocated in New Orleans, LABorn in New Orleans, Horton Humble is a self-taught American painter. His debut show in 2007, entitled Debris, featured a series of paintings using wood from the Hurricane Katrina wreckage centered on themes of a lost city and water as a powerful force. In 2008, he embarked on a one-year journey through Africa for his next series Transit Urban, which included twelve paintings using local traditional fabrics depicting the energy of the people, land and culture. Each piece was drafted on site and later accompanied him on his other travels from Europe to US. Enchanted by the old and mestizo city, he returned to Lisbon in 2012 where he lived for almost three years and created The Lisbon Series influenced by the discovery of a new medium; ceramics and its modeling techniques. After this productive period in Portugal, Humble again returned home and established his studio with a group of fellow artists in New Orleans and co-founded the Level Artist Collective in 2015. At this time, his paintings on wood panels captured his impressions of a post- Katrina city represented inside of human head figures transitioning his previous subject matter into a new territory (US) and its social problematic. In 2017, Horton Humble was a resident artist at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans and named “one of the most talented young painters producing in the South today” by Bradley Sumrall, curator of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art (Curator's Choice, Country Roads Magazine). Through the summer he created his first public sculpture in steel, The Guardian, commissioned by the Helis Foundation for the Pyodras Corridor project- Sculpture for New Orleans. Currently, Humble is creating his most ambitious work, large-scale canvases in which he is releasing the formality of his detail obsession into a more dynamic and expressive work. Horton Humble is a founding member of LEVEL Collective and was a 2015/2017 nominee for the United States Artists Fellowship. His works are included in public and private collections, showcased at the Poydras Corridor, LA; Prizm Art Fair, FL; Atlanta Contemporary Biennial, GA; Ohr-O`Keefe Museum of Art, MS; Luciano´s...Category
