This painting depicts two nude female figures facing each other in a body of water, their arms entwining as their nipples touch. Besides contrasting skin tones, the two figures are identical in their form, body shape and composition—highlighting how both subjects are inherently the same. The bright pubic hair and exaggerated nipples cast a feeling of innocence over the couple, while the title of the work and almost comical color palette adds levity to what could be an insensitive or transgressive scene.
The artist's narrative paintings explore eroticism with humor and intimacy, combining motifs and tropes from art history with contemporary aesthetics. Lamb's works overlay transgressive topics onto everyday scenes, reengaging viewers with the core experiences humans share across identities and idiosyncrasies.
