Bobbi Essers’ paintings evoke a sense of intimacy and emotional connection, offering privileged glimpses into fleeting moments shared within her friend group. By focusing on portraying those closest to her, Essers captures an experience uniquely personal and yet broadly universal – the enchantment of friendship.
Starting from personal photographs, her works emanate a distinct luminosity; Essers deliberately selects raw photographs as source material, capturing her subjects in honest, unguarded moments. Her goal is not to attain the perfect likeness, but rather to create a harmonious blend of the subjects’ true essence and the way in which she perceives them. For the viewer, the familiarity of these portrayals contains a hint of voyeurism: Essers transports her viewers through time and space, immersing them in a vivid tapestry of nostalgia.
