Piece description from the artist
I've collected ticket stubs since I was little. While stuck at home during pandemic quarantining, I put them all out on the floor and arranged them into collages. They inspired a number of my paintings, each one named after its most prominent element, in this case the bright orange arrow from an MBTA ticket. Made in the style of Trompe l'oeil, a technique that tricks they eye into believing the painting is actually in 3D.
Molly German was born in 1998 and raised in Massachusetts. She currently is an undergrad at Boston University and will graduate in May 2021. Painting is her major, with minors in art history and psychology. In November 2020, Molly was a featured artist at the SloaneArt Virtual Exhibition. Her work was selected by Beverly Brown, who is the wife of the president of Boston University.
Recent artworks by Molly are inspired by mundane moments of life. Molly's aim is to slow down and observe what would normally be a disposable material or scenery, and then transform it into a remarkable image.
