Dinner (Party) Print

Every dinner table holds a story.

Dinner (Party) brings together two of Mari Jae's distinctive wax-string characters in a playful scene that feels both familiar and wonderfully mysterious. Seated across from one another beneath dramatic lighting, the figures appear caught in a moment of conversation, anticipation, connection, or perhaps something left unsaid.

Unlike many works in the Wax Figure Series that focus on a single character or expression, Dinner (Party) explores relationships. The piece invites viewers to imagine the dialogue unfolding between the two figures and to project their own experiences onto the scene.

The bold chartreuse background, theatrical composition, and expressive characters create an artwork that feels simultaneously humorous, cinematic, and emotionally resonant. With each viewing, new stories emerge.

Perfect for dining rooms, kitchens, entertaining spaces, and collectors who appreciate narrative-driven contemporary art.

This print reproduces an original oil painting from the Wax String Figure series. The original was built from a hand-sculpted wax string figure, photographed under chiaroscuro lighting, and rendered in oil on canvas. The original is unique and unrepeatable — the print is how the work travels.
