STATEMENT
New York City based artist Stella Im Hultberg presents her latest series of paintings & drawings. Ghost-like female figures stand alone, in pairs, & sometimes with animals in dreamy landscapes. Each piece is rendered in oil & ink on tea-stained paper as an attempt to capture a scene from a dream. Though primarily figurative, the works are not meant to be portraits of real people, but are used as symbols to represent a certain emotion or idea. The artist states, “I think of them as a slice of a moment, revealing very private emotions and dreams.” The imagery is meant to evoke the human experience - our insecurities, our fears, our darkest secrets – and how our feelings manifest themselves to shape our lives. “No matter how many different themes there are for me to explore, in the end I’m always attracted to people, their stories, and the dualities of their persona and this world,” states Im Hultberg. |
