Alone & Together
About this artwork
While the sense of place in this piece feels timeless, it portrays the year of the pandemic and its social impact, says artist Robin Okun. Her use of blues is both calming and exciting, and balanced by orange-reds. The women's dresses meld into the background in a watery ethereal essence. I combined brushwork and a rubber roller to create a printed feeling on the gowns that spill into the base of the painting. I love varying my tools and materials to create interesting effects.
