Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

Visual Elements: This vibrant artwork features a collage of close-up images of lips in various shades of red. The composition is a grid-like arrangement, creating a visually striking pattern through the repetition of the lip motif. Subject Matter: The central focus is the human mouth, with the lush, full lips painted in bold, eye-catching hues. The inclusion of paintbrushes and other tools suggests a process of artistic creation and the transformation of the lips. Artistic Style and Technique: The artwork employs a photorealistic style, capturing the intricate details and textures of the lips. The use of collage and juxtaposition of the individual elements adds a sense of fragmentation and dissonance to the overall composition. Context: This work likely comments on themes of beauty, consumerism, and the fetishization of the human body, reflecting the artist's critical examination of contemporary cultural norms and societal obsessions. ...

Gina Beavers paints images mined from social media, replicating this material in thick marbled acrylic on linen. Using her disarmingly photorealistic painterly style, she replicates mouth-watering foodporn, images of sweaty bodybuilders or stills from makeup tutorials. Often comically blurring these visual pools, a woman’s body may be cut into as a slice of cake, or tutorial stills are repeated ad infinitum. Drooping globules of ketchup trickle down the canvas, painted lips look wet to the touch and beads of sweat glisten in these glossy, three-dimensional paintings. With an eye for sensuality, gluttony and pleasure, Beaver’s paintings look deeply at the emotive depth of internet culture, teasing out signifiers of class, consumption and bravado within curated online profiles. Tackling this contemporary media as a landscape artist would a meadow or a valley, the minutia of consumer culture are crystallised by her brushstrokes. Taking a seat at the table with other photorealist painters such as Wayne Thiebaud and Ralph Goings, Beavers shares their fascination for food, but her dissection of consumption in relation to digital cultures places her firmly in the contemporary moment. ...

Los Angeles, Seoul, Dallas

Various Small Fires (Los Angeles /Dallas /Seoul) began as a series of conversations with artists and curators in Esther Kim Varet’s Venice Beach kitchen while working on her doctoral dissertation. VSF debuted in Hollywood as an official gallery in 2015 with a roster of artists and its current Johnston MarkLee Architects-designed building. The Hollywood gallery contains three exhibition spaces, a unique sound corridor, and an outdoor gallery. VSF’s exhibition program explores several curatorial lines: climate, equality, and an international conversation. The gallery is known for offering artists debut shows, creating intergenerational conversations among the artists on its roster, and solidifying artists’ legacies within art history. In 2019, VSF opened a second location in the Hannam neighbourhood of Seoul, South Korea, followed recently this Spring by VSFs third outpost in Dallas, Texas. While Varet has very personal connections to both locations, they are also superlative art communities. These expansions emphasise the gallery’s commitment to innovation and global dialogue in the twenty-first century. In 2021, VSF became a member of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA). ...
