P’ainted during the early stages of my relationship with my now fiancé, this work captures a small moment that became unexpectedly memorable. The painting depicts him dressing - clad in a checked tailored jacket and dark grey trousers slipping on a pair of black loafers.
The title comes from a piece of advice he shared on one of our first dates: expired Oyster cards make excellent shoehorns - slim enough to keep in a wallet and always close at hand. What seemed like a practical observation revealed a quiet resourcefulness that stayed with me. In many ways, the painting is a portrait of getting to know someone through the small details that make them uniquely themselves.’ -Nga
