ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This Series began after six months of quarantine due to the Covid 19 pandemic. I often check-in with my (out of state) parents; they are both retired and generally have kept themselves busy during this difficult time. I asked what they are doing for fun....My Dad said a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle was his vice of the week. I start thinking of puzzle pieces-- how they are connected and how each piece has a purpose to complete a picture. What is my purpose during this pandemic? To make art that points to something beyond ourselves, beyond isolation, beyond pandemics.

Oi Fortin
United States
I am an award winning multimedia artist with a primary focus in Monotype Printmaking. I was born in Bangkok, Thailand and now live and work in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. To achieve the aesthetic of my abstract-expressionist prints, I use cut-out shapes, vibrant colors and found-objects for textures. A print is a mirror image of what I painted on a printing plate. Monotype prints are one of a kind, but I can sometimes pull one or two more faint “ghost prints” until the ink is completely gone. A ghost print can become the base for a new, layered work. What I enjoy most about the printmaking process is the element of surprise. The thrill of exploring is addictive, and it keeps me going back to my studio day after day. A recent comment from an Instagram follower: “I’ve been following the art of (Oi) for some time now. The simplicity in forms and lines with intriguing compositions resonate with me in some way that I cannot explain and that's fine with me. Everything in life doesn’t need an explanation!....” AA Contemporary
