McAndrew five vaults SA back into title race with win over Queensland

A plus-size woman leans over the edge of a pink bathtub, her dark hair twisted into a loose topknot, bare arms folded as she gazes down with soft concentration. One finger touches the water’s surface, sending out a crisp ring of ripples that anchors the scene. Beside her, a gray-and-white dog perches on the tub’s rim, paws resting over a striped towel, watchful and calm. Behind them, a grid of warm orange tiles hums with gentle light. Below, the bathwater becomes a second painting: her reflected body and the dog’s form stretch across mauve and lavender tiles, veiled by foam and translucent swirls, blurring where skin, water, and light meet into a quiet portrait of rest, intimacy, and companionship. In “Oh, To Be Loved,” artist Shona McAndrew (born in Paris and based in the United States) turns the bathroom, often a site of scrutiny, into a sanctuary for radical gentleness. Working from her own body and relationships, she paints fat, tender, queer-adjacent domestic life at heroic scale, insisting that care and desire belong to bodies long excluded from art history’s ideals. The woman’s relaxed posture, the everyday setting, and the dog’s unwavering presence insist that love is found in ordinary rituals and in steam, tile, towels, and the slow tracing of a fingertip across water. Created for her 2023 solo exhibition “Rose-Tinted Glasses” at CHART in New York, the painting forms part of a self-reflective series in which McAndrew recasts classical motifs of the nude and the muse through her own image, her partner, and her dog. Later shown in “Some Dogs Go to Dallas” at the Green Family Art Foundation, it resonates within a wider context of portraits where animals witness and affirm human vulnerability like an ode to being seen, held, and loved without condition.
