"When you look at Eolake Stobblehouses art, you discover originality influenced by distinct modern artists and artistic traditions. To offer two examples: in the painting of a crouched woman facing the viewers, the nude figure becomes a study of colors and shapes. Much like Picassos paintings during his Marie-Thérese Walter phase, each of the shapesthe circularity of the breasts, the sausage-like brownish color and shape of one of her arms, the phallic shape of her leg, alludes to a fragmentary eroticism. The image as a whole isnt erotic. But taken in isolation each part appears so sensual that its almost eatable. The colors draw our attention to the eroticism of this painting much as its shapes. The darkness of the hair contrasts sharply with the redness of (both sets of) lips, to emphasize, once again, the womans sexuality."
