Edition of 3080.0 (H) × 81.3 (W) cmShipping est. 2 weeks

In Painting hearts and Ab-Exers on my lips, Gina Beavers explores the ways we consume – and are consumed by – the internet.

An array of paint-covered pouts are set against a fleshy backdrop as brushes adorn them in black and red details. Beavers’ distinctive style pulls from the infinite scroll of social media, with subjects frequently inspired by memes, selfies and makeup tutorials.

Each edition is individually hand-finished with precise oil stick details, reminiscent of the heavy impasto that distinguishes Beaver’s original paintings.

“Something pretty mundane from our online lives can also be serious art.”

Framing

The framing option shows the piece float mounted inside a black frame, with the grain of the wood visible. The frame has UV plexi glass for protection.

Medium

15-colour silkscreen on white 2-ply Rising Museum Board with metallic ink and black-spot varnish, uniquely hand-finished by the artist with oil stick.

Gina Beavers smiling in front of a painting of lips

Gina Beavers1 collaborationGina Beavers translates social media posts into hefty, impasto paintings. Her work directly appropriates internet culture. Memes, makeup tutorials, selfies and ‘food porn’ are all selected as subjects. The artist chooses references she thinks convey a sense of idealism or beauty. She turns these images into paintings through a laborious process. First she shapes foam and acrylic medium into sculptural mounds with palette knives. Then she adds colour with acrylic paint. Final works have a careful attention to colour and detail. They embody a grotesque sense of realism. Beaver's inspirations include mid-20th century sculptors Claes Oldenberg and Lee Bontecou.
