More information
Gina Beavers has a solo show at MoMA PS1, NY, "The Life I Deserve", March 31–September 2, 2019.
New York based Gina Beavers (b. 1974, Athens) makes three dimensional paintings composed from thick layers of acrylic medium. By transforming images sourced from the Internet she questions consumerism, desire and objects from social media that reflects our everyday life. Recurring in her art are the painter's palette, food and make-up kits. The high-relief paintings are exclusively painted from photographs seen on her mobile phone, which is how she sees the world.
Beavers has exhibited solo projects at GNYP (Berlin), Frieze (New York 2016), Michael Benevento (Los Angeles), Clifton Benevento (New York), Retrospective (Hudson, NY), Fourteen30 (Portland, Or), James Fuentes (New York), Nudashank (Baltimore, MD), and Material Art Fair (Mexico City). She has participated in numerous group shows, among them, MoMA PS1 (Long Island City, NY), Lumber Room (Portland, Or), Kentucky Museum of Contemporary Art (Louisville, KY), Nassau County Museum of Art (Long Island, NY), Flag Art Foundation (New York), William Benton Museum of Art (Storrs, Ct), Abrons Art Center (New York), Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, New York), Cheim and Read (New York), JTT (New York), Canada Gallery (New York), Valentin (Paris), Galerie Opdahl (Norway), and Night Gallery (Los Angeles). Her work has been reviewed in the New York Times, Artforum, Frieze, the New Yorker and Modern Painters, among others.
