Bailey Gardner (XX) - Utopian Landscape

Beschreibung zum Gemälde der Künstlerin:

"This is an oil painting 60x60 cm on stretched canvas inspired by artist David Hockney, one of my favourite artists. I try to steer away from “local color” and explore what colours the naked eye really sees rather then relying on what Color you think something in nature would be."

Biografie / Zur Künstlerin:

Bailey Gardner is a contemporary American artist. She enjoys using the grid method and the Golden Ratio to idealize figures. She explores the concept of Utopia, a made-up paradise of leisure and pleasure, filled with naked figures at rest, using vivid, unnatural colors. Gardner has also developed a fondness for creating dystopias that feature horrifying scenes of devastation and a loss of individuality. The artist compares these opposing worlds, contrasting the zones we aspire to with the ones we do not wish to know, by presenting these two bodies of work side by side.

Bailey Gardner was born in 1997, in the USA. She received her BFA at University of Kansas and her MFA at New York Studio School. Gardner recently did a post-graduate program at The Slade School of Fine Art in London.
