Avery Singer study

 https://art21.org/watch/new-york-close-up/avery-singers-next-painting/ 

Avery Singer's work is... innovative and dynamic.

The Studio Visit (Version)

2012

Acrylic on canvas

72 × 96 × 1 3/4 inches (182.9 × 243.8 × 4.4 cm)

Source link: https://www.studiointernational.com/index.php/avery-singer-interview-free-fall-hauser-and-wirth-london-11-september-2001-terrorist-attacks-new-york 

This painting has a goods sense of balance as there are two figures depicted across the table from each other. The picture plane is also utilized well as most of the space is used.

Performance Artists

2013

Acrylic on canvas

78 × 104 × 1 3/4 inches (198.1 × 264.2 × 4.4 cm)

This painting depicts a good range of value. From the brightest brights to the darkest darks, there is shadows and highlights on every form painted.

Additional Notes: 

• Avery Singer produces a "new visual reality" with the use of 3D model technology.
• Painting for Singer is a way to "define time and space" for herself by losing her sense of the clock with a final product of freedom. It is active and living progress.

1) Dwaekki crossbody bag unclipped from the strap. I've always liked stuffed animals or things I could hug and that could hug me back.

2) Photocard binder. Music is a big part of who I am despite never touching an instrument. Kpop has become a strong hobby of mine because of it.

3) Sketchbooks (2 displayed). Ever since I was little, I loved to draw and make my own characters with stories. My style has grown a lot since then.

4) Strawberry poundcake body spray. I prefer body spray over perfume. This is my favorite scent. Not only is it sweet and very "me," but I love it because it reminds me of my long distance best friend.

5) Keychains (2 displayed). One value of mine is to be unashamed about my interests, even if they're nerdy. Little trinkets such as these allow me to show them off.
