» christina empedocles

First building collages and still-lives from which to work from, artist Christina Empedocles makes oil paintings that capture our collective yearning and nostalgic fantasies. Her paintings are composite realities built from old family photographs, swatches of wall-paper, and magazine advertisements. Her massive talent for realism solidifies the seemingly disparate imagery she works with, and draws them together so seamlessly that the paintings feel timeless in spite of their absolutely contemporary swagger.
