In Love You (2025), Clay Vorhes delivers a tactile, heartfelt ode to affection through his signature impasto technique. This 8” x 8” oil on panel work depicts a heart-shaped chocolate cake, its surface thickly sculpted with rich swirls of brown, pink, and gold frosting. The words “LOVE YOU” are inscribed in glossy pink icing, emerging playfully from the textured surface. Surrounded by a decorative piped edge in candy-like hues, the cake rests on a vivid blue surface that provides bold contrast against the muted background. Vorhes transforms a familiar confection into a poignant and painterly expression, blending sweetness with sincerity and charm.
