Laura Krifka – BOOOOOOOM! – CREATE * INSPIRE * COMMUNITY * ART * DESIGN * MUSIC * FILM * PHOTO * PROJECTS

By way of personal and carefully produced figurative paintings, San Luis Obispo, California-based artist Laura Krifka (beforehand showcased in this article) dissects the mechanisms of electric power, identity, and observation found in visual tradition. With non-descript references to the heritage of painting, Krifka incorporates the present-day frameworks of film and images into her being familiar with of portraiture and psychology. By collapsing quite a few sights of the identical pose, matter, area, and time into every painting she produces scenes that show up deceptively uncomplicated, but are rife with distortions, puzzles, and bodily impossibilities that make visual factuality tenuous and problem a viewer’s perceptual skills.

Krifka directs each individual complicated narrative as paintings unravel and reform slowly but surely around months and even years. Protagonists inhabit domestic spaces, occasionally gazing assertively out of their canvases, other instances disappearing into the wallpaper, but generally vulnerable. Her figures occupy numerous states of undress, planning, or enjoy, expressing an ease with intimacy and an acknowledgement that the act of on the lookout is a central part of drive. The satisfaction of observation is echoed in Krifka’s possess words: “…our pleasures and perversions have been molded by the fictions that permeate our ubiquitous visual lifestyle. That our most mystery desires are partly shaped by our codified, collective experiences is a resource of endless fascination for me.”
