For a time-limited print edition, Gabrielle Garland concocts a vision of domestic bliss.

Garland’s enticing homes – alive with pastel hues and skewed perspectives – are inspired by photographs taken around her New York neighbourhood. Anything worth having hurts a little borrows its title from a line in The Neon Demon (2016). References to film, TV and music in Garland’s titles hint at the limitless stories hovering just beyond the edge of her canvases. With no figures present, narrative possibilities are endless. A newspaper waits on the doorstep, but for who? Flowers bloom below the window, but who planted them?

The number of artworks produced will be confirmed when the 24 hour release window ends, based on the number of orders placed. Once printed, Garland will add a number to the blue plaque on the front of each house in black acrylic pen – denoting the edition number and making every print unique. Numbers will be allocated chronologically, with the first order recieving house number 1, and so on. Worldwide shipping is free.

Behind the scenes

00:06

Gabrielle Garland1 collaborationWhimsical and surreal, Gabrielle Garland paints all kinds of houses. Each has a different feel and morphs into stretched and obscure shapes. “For me, space is something we experience visually and haptically, so texture and pattern are essential components of our experience.” Pale pinks, dusty greens and dark blues sweep across the lopsided buildings and driveways. Interestingly, the paintings never show the inhabitants of these spaces. Instead, Garland uses objects and details to suggest their presence – the viewer is left to make their own decisions about who lives there, and how they live.

I was lucky enough to have been invited to see the creation of this piece of work back in June and met the fantastic Miwa so seeing this print now is just fantastic. The colours are every bit as vibrant as the original.
