Artist Statement
My nom de guerre (/ˌnäm də ˈɡer/)) is Oneslutriot, and I am an anonymous artist raised in London's vibrant underground art scene. In my recent work, I have explored themes that challenge societal norms and celebrate authenticity in defiance of stereotypes.
In my art, I portray individuals who boldly embrace their bodies and identities, rejecting societal expectations and norms. Employing bold brushstrokes and rich imagery, I create visceral portrayals that immerse viewers in dark yet compelling reflections of reality.
The human form, with its beauty and vulnerability, is the focal point of my creations. Each piece explores the inner turmoil experienced by my subjects, often serving as surrogates for my own struggles and experiences. From an amputee pin-up lady to the quiet desperation of a woman facing her body image in a midnight kitchen scene, my models defy convention and challenge perceptions of beauty.
Beneath the sometimes satirical or ironic surface of my work lies a profound sadness and a personal truth. Each canvas is a silent plea for recognition in an unjust world, exploring the complex relationship between beauty and pain, obsession and mental health.
Through a lens of internal strife and external defiance, my art sheds light on the intricacies of human existence. Through my work, I aim to reveal unconventional experiences, challenge taboos, and explore feelings that are often overlooked or marginalized. My goal is to unmask the intricate relationship between beauty and pain in the contemporary world, resonating with audiences who seek authenticity and truth in art.
