LOVERBOY: One Pedal At A Time

The series unveils portraits of passion and vulnerability. The paintings are expressionistic; using soil and sand Mr. StarCity forms figures through tactile patchworks of rough, irregular fields of color. The expressions on their faces raise curiosity from its viewers: it could be a smile, a scorn, or a face of worry. They carry a candid quality of a face not posing for a camera.


The series is part of his research on emotions and the pains that are inevitable to the human experience. It explores the complex manifestations of feeling and asks: In what forms does love appear aside from admiration of strength and perfection? How does one respond when faced with the frailties and faults of others?

The works affirm Mr. StarCity’s continuous transformation, seen in his fearless experimentation with subject matter and techniques for storytelling. “As my artwork journeys to new destinations, my hope is that they carry with them the joy, understanding, and contemplation I poured into them. I aim for my art to evoke emotions, prompting you to ponder, question, and reflect on it, the world, or yourself.”
