Oubré (b. 1984) is a self-taught realist artist from Washington DC.
The artist employs graphite powder and India ink in layers to create a photo-realistic reference. Her portraits, often nude and isolated, are the artist’s attempt to capture the nuances of loneliness, exclusion, grief and longing.
In a statement provided to Beautiful/Decay, Oubré described herself as an “artist who paints (my view of) the human condition.” A tangible presence surrounds her portraits.
Drawn to subjects who have endured social hardships, Oubré’s grayscale style sensitively portrays the physical nuances of pain and rejection. Despite their defeated poses, the figures resonate with an honest and unwavering strength.
By evoking powerful emotions in the viewer, Oubré’s work enacts a form of healing and empowerment through representation.
