The Secession presents the work of the young American painter Avery Singer, whose innovative art effortlessly integrates references to art history and contemporaneity with an exploration of the underpinnings and mechanisms of digital media.
About
Singer’s large-format pictures bristle with elaborate formal and semantic contradiction. Her motifs often highlight the process of banalization we associate with the stereotypical characters of the art world, presenting the artist’s career as a nostalgic, commercially constructed fantasy of bohemian tropes: the studio visit with its ritualized exchanges, the conventions of exhibition-making, the premises of Singer’s own art production, as well as happenings and parties.
