Jun Oson - Loiter

The vignettes in this new series of paintings show the characters wandering, observing, looking for things to do. Inspired by Japanese-rooted illustration styles like Manga or Anime, these flat, playful scenes show the characters nonchalantly rowing a boat across smooth turquoise waters, taking note of the dusty pink and mustard yellow hills; wading through lush, leafy blue-green jungles; planting a flag at the top of a mountain reaching space; finding secret treasures. Other times, the friend group gathers around a tree, passing the time together without “doing” anything. Creating their own life-guiding principles, the characters in Oson’s work show that adventure and community are just around the corner, if one is brave enough to loiter around waiting for it.
