Fetish Of Form

A fetish is a fixation to a particular object to an abnormal degree, or refers to an inanimate object worshipped for its magical powers or because it is considered to be inhabited by a spirit. How can we as oil painters explore our love about oil painting in a way that is interesting or relevant to people who don't necessarily know our art, or care about art that much in general? This is the central problem I explore in Fetish of Form. I aim to build a narrative to my work that is understated in direct meaning. An interest is built in work that can't be easily decoded in one viewing. Instead of trying to figure them out, I just let them be what they are.
