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

By means of intimate and very carefully produced figurative paintings, San Luis Obispo, California-based mostly artist Laura Krifka (formerly highlighted in this article) dissects the mechanisms of electricity, id, and observation found in visible culture. With non-descript references to the heritage of portray, Krifka incorporates the present-day frameworks of movie and pictures into her knowing of portraiture and psychology. By collapsing numerous sights of the same pose, subject, house, and time into every single portray she produces scenes that seem deceptively basic, but are rife with distortions, puzzles, and actual physical impossibilities that make visual factuality tenuous and obstacle a viewer’s perceptual capabilities.

Krifka directs each complex narrative as paintings unravel and reform bit by bit over months and even years. Protagonists inhabit domestic spaces, sometimes gazing assertively out of their canvases, other times disappearing into the wallpaper, but constantly vulnerable. Her figures occupy many states of undress, planning, or participate in, expressing an relieve with intimacy and an acknowledgement that the act of looking is a central element of wish. The pleasure of observation is echoed in Krifka’s have words and phrases: “…our pleasures and perversions have been molded by the fictions that permeate our ubiquitous visual culture. That our most mystery needs are partly shaped by our codified, collective encounters is a supply of countless fascination for me.”
