Birthday Kiss
(Oil on wood 7x8), 2006
~Audrey Kawasaki

Stumbled onto her site quite by accident really (perpetually a drunken sailor dancing a zig-zag-jig down the galleries of the internet). What I really love about her work is the dreamy abandon on the faces of her subjects combined with the way those subjects seem to materialize out of the wood canvas. The earthtones lend her eroticism a wonderful gravity, at once anchoring an immediate awareness of the twin powers of eros & thanatos in the viewer while at the same time releasing itself through a playfull immediacy as whimsical as it is coquettish.

Highly recommend you check out her portfolio over here.

Oh, wow, I love Birthday Kiss! I better get one of those for my next birthday, complete with beautiful drifting lady and kitties above our heads.
