Description

Oil on paper, 41x31cm, 2022.
Matted and framed in a simple black metal frame. (size with frame 51x36cm)

This is one of four small oil portraits I made last summer, each of which having a very simple portrait composition. My friend modeled for the reference photo, and I overlaid the shape of a fish over her face. The fish shape is actually a hand-made omikuji, or fortune, that I got from a shrine here in Japan. The fortune (a folded up piece of paper) was inside the fish's tail, and I took it out and pasted it to the paper (in the bottom left corner) and painted on top of it. I really enjoyed the shape of the fish itself, so it became the theme of this painting.

Concept

Nadine Franklin is an artist from the US who is living and studying in Tokyo. She mainly works in oil painting, gouache, and watercolors. Nadine's work combines images inspired by her daily life in collage-like compositions. The pieces often revolve around a "main character", a singular face or figure, surrounded by motifs such as clouds, mountains, architecture such as temples or shrines, and haloes. She also incorporates printed matter like receipts, tickets, maps, and postcards into her work, which connect each piece to a specific place or time.
