Painting
Artist Statement:
I started a new body of work shich I will show in 1993-94.
More about the Artist:
Marilyn Minter’s hyper realistic paintings blur the edges between commercial fashion ads and fine art, often-depicting beautiful women in beautiful clothes smeared or splashed with mud. Simultaneously repulsive and seductive, Minter’s work has been hugely influential to both fashion photographers and artists, especially members of the conceptual feminism movement. Minter states:
"I'm trying to make an image of what it feels like to look. I want to make a fresh vision of something that's compelling; something that commands our attention; something that is so visually lush that you'll give it multiple readings adding your own history and traditions to the layered content. Some things make you feel transcended; others make you feel slimed. I'm constantly looking for that transcendent moment."
In 2005, Minter's work was featured in a solo show at San Francisco MoMA. It was then included in the 2006 Whitney Biennial. Recent solo shows include Gavlak Projects, Palm Beach; Voges and Partner, Frankfurt; Baldwin Gallery, Aspen; Andrehn-Schiptjenko Gallery, Stockholm; Fredericks Freiser Gallery, New York; and Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris. Marilyn Minter is represented by Salon94, New York.
