The Pasture
2009
Facial moisturizer on board
6" x 8 " (15 x 20cm)
The paintings from the series 'The Pasture,' 2009, faintly depict 4 × 6-inch pastoral landscapes on 6 × 8-inch boards primed with traditional gesso. The images are based on the 18th-century painter Thomas Gainsborough’s work. Instead of paint, the medium is the facial moisturizer 'Advanced Marine Biology Night Solution' by luxury Swiss skincare company La Prairie, which developed and built a proprietary above ground aquaculture that mimes the conditions of the deep ocean in order to harvest free-radical-fighting botanicals. 'The Pasture' captures landscapes after having passed through capitalism and emerged on the other side. Each painting contains approximately 18ml of 'Advanced Marine Biology Night Solution.'
