Landscape realistic portrait oil painting, "(Mountain view of Schroon Lake)," by Cobi Moules - Oil on canvas
Driven by the … more Landscape realistic portrait oil painting, "(Mountain view of Schroon Lake)," by Cobi Moules - Oil on canvas
Driven by the desire for adventure and discovery, Cobi Moules embraces the beauty of nature all the while shifting its weight through the exaltation of his own existence within and as part of it. This is best exemplified by how he incorporates multiple self-portraits throughout his compositions. The multiplicity of self takes precedence over, as well as integration into, the landscape, creating a world with excitement, self-worth, and play.
The locations of Moules’ compositions are equally important. All the sites were previously depicted in paintings by the Hudson River School. Through the exploration of the grand American landscape and the reflection on mid-19th century American landscape painting, Moules navigates the parallels between the Hudson River School and the religious ideology that was integral to his formative years. Shared throughout both is the elevation of purity, virginity,nity, and the honor of sacrificing one’s selfhood for the glory of God. As the Hudson River School artists’ work embodies the overpowering force of God made manifest through nature, so do the religious voices of Moules’ past against the validation of his existence.
Moules states, “As a queer and trans person, I seek to renegotiate my relationship with this upbringing and the act of being told I am ‘unnatural’ through such a Christian lens. I utilize traditional representation to seek inclusion while disrupting the original narrative. Creating a space for personal significance and a queer and trans presence, the importance becomes the experience of my multiple and overall presence. It is a community of me playing, exploring my selves, exploring nature, and being part of it.”
