Whereas most people can actually see an apple when closing their eyes and imagining an apple, I only see blackness. And yet I can feel the apple. I can pull together a sense of the shine, the green-flecked red, the weight of it in my palm. It’s that gap between a seen image and felt impact that fuels my painting. My primary body of work is abstract. These three paintings are part of a separate line I recently created (under my first and middle name) to allow me the freedom to play with whimsical depictions of people and other creatures. In all of my work, I am fascinated by how a bold line or a soft shape or deep pigment can be felt deeply, and I use color and texture to create a visceral, sensory experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tara Shay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54121834971455,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/2064\/6719\/files\/Screenshot2026-07-16130450.png?v=1784232323","url":"https:\/\/houseoforange.gallery\/products\/kevin","provider":"House Of Orange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
