Untitled 

Kinder Album created this untitled painting using oil on canvas, a traditional medium that enables the building of layers and the manipulation of light. The artist deploys the sensuousness of oil paint to construct this somewhat surreal scene, which takes place in front of what appears to be a European townhouse. Note the bare winter trees casting their stark shadows. In the foreground, two figures are partially hidden. Are they about to share a clandestine moment? Oil paint has always been associated with fine art, and indeed, this scene might remind us of the paintings of the French Impressionists, whose fleeting moments of modern life were captured with visible brushstrokes and keen observation. But this artist departs from that tradition, introducing a surreal element to this otherwise idyllic scene. The artist is not afraid to engage with humor, and pushes the boundaries of acceptability, showing us how art can be both beautiful and provocative at once.
