Follow on Google News | New “Featured Artist” at Pivot Art GalleryOnline Gallery features the work of artist Lillian Bayley Hoover
Hoover starts by photographing small-scale models in various scenarios and then makes detailed paintings from the photographs. The objects - so far removed from their original context and scale - give the paintings a sense of un-reality and altered perspective. The layers of mediation, translation, and filtration are analogous to the way we navigate experiences of the wars the US is currently engaged in as well as pointing to the many ways in which the abstract idea of 'power' can be viewed. The paintings are reminders that politics, war, and power surround us and that we relate to these, each to our own degree, in myriad ways and through myriad levels of interference. These subtly formidable paintings evoke powerful ideas without being oppressive - in this is their strength. # # # Pivot Art Gallery aims to provide striking contemporary art exhibitions in an engaging conversation with artists, viewers, collectors. We will provide inspiration to artists and collectors, and encourage the community to become more involved in the arts. End
