Artist statement
"Love Dumps the Truck" invites the observer to witness a poignant moment steeped in the language of love. At the heart of the composition is a 2-year-old boy, basking in the glow of childhood play, captivated by the sheer delight of his toy truck.
The scene unfolds in a sunlit driveway, and boundless energy and curiosity radiates from the youngster. Surrounded by an unseen yet palpable family, our focus remains steadfast on the boy and his cherished plaything. Moments before, the warmth and tenderness of his Mother's voice echo in the air, having redirected the young lad’s attention.
"Love Dumps the Truck" attempts to visually capture the essence of family bonds and the prevalent power of love. The title itself speaks to the whimsical nature of childhood, where love manifests in the simple joys of play and discovery. The invisible family members become guardians of this precious moment, guiding and nurturing the boy in his exploration.
As part of "The Look of Love: Art as a Love Language," this painting delves into the threads of love that connect us. It celebrates the beauty of innocence, the profound impact of motherly love, and the enduring imprint these moments leave on our hearts. For me, this work represents a priceless opportunity to savour time with my great nephew and family, who live far away.
