BmoreArt is an award-winning blog published by Cara Ober, dedicated to showcasing and reviewing the visual arts in Baltimore.

Contemporary Fine Art Gallery, Washington, DC

Cara Ober's 'I Love To Love You From Afar' series of mixed media drawings on paper explore the relationships between personal and collective sexual fantasies. On hand-drawn notebook paper, Ober references the schoolgirl crush and the diary, and creates a tableau for confidential revelation integrated with public messages. In each drawing, Ober renders the face of a person she has personally fantasized about, and combines it with vernacular language – from pop songs, poems, and Harlequin romance novels.

This particular drawing combines a portrait of Isaac from the Love Boat television show with lyrics from 'Slow Hand' by the Pointer Sisters.

Artists are invited to nominate themselves for the 2008 Baker Artist Awards consisting of the privately juried Mary Sawyers Baker Prize and the voter selected Baltimore's Choice. The William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund intends the Baker Artist Awards website to be an ongoing exhibition, archive and definitive statement about Baltimore as a creative richness and vitality as place to live and community that values its individual artists.
