Robin Adsit "Daily Entanglements"
watercolor on paper/30" x 22"/2021/ $1500.00
Artist Statement
I make paintings of figures linked through sight, intention, and proximity that look at human bodies as archives, with a focus on body language as a signifier of power, longing and absence. This body of work draws from both the body and the environment interweaving figural representations with spatial disruptions and/or dislocations. Some of the recent work also addresses the loss of intimacy and touch along with private space and time, when quarantined with others along with how we find bits of comfort while navigating others. I have always been interested in beginning my paintings and drawings from observation, looking at skin, light, shadow, muscles, fat, body position and understanding how careful observation can create desire but also removal. My paintings present an interrelated, transformable collection of figural and material gestures and spaces whose meaning is determined by their relationship to each other.
