We’re happy to announce the addition of Prachie Narain’s work to the Oral Fixation Gallery.

Born in Nepal, Prachie has also lived in India, England, and now, the US. She graduated from Princeton University in 2005, where she majored in Comparative Literature and collaborated with the Visual Arts department. She was involved in several exhibits at the university, including a solo exhibit in April 2005. She has enjoyed painting for as long as she can remember, and even as a medical student at Dartmouth College, she continues to make ample time to explore new styles and subjects and grow as an artist. She mostly paint in oils, and her work experiments with surrealism, impressionism, and the abstract. Among her influences are Munch, Kandinsky, Monet, Guston, and Diebenkorn.

In her words:

My work explores the struggles of self and culture in the modern world of transience, mirrors, and metal. At first, the distorted reflections and confused contexts seem to suggest a fragmented, lost identity, but the abstractions of an image or an idea spark a new understanding of the original. In this way, the work evokes a dreamlike, passionate, provocative quality in everyday objects.

Oral Fixation was featured prominently in a 5 minute spot on the Food Network’s “Unwrapped” TV show last week. Since then, new orders and account requests have been flying in at an amazing rate, and we’ve been working overtime to keep up with all the demand for the tastiest and most stylish mints in America.

The show’s theme was “cocktail culture”, for which our Mojito Mints were a natural fit. The Food Network guys came to visit us in our Pennsylvania mint factory, filmed us mixing up a big batch of Mojito Mints, and talked to us about the main ideas behind Oral Fixation Mints—making everyday objects beautiful.

Fun stuff!
