Painting hearts and Ab-Exers on my lips

In Painting hearts and Ab-Exers on my lips, Gina Beavers explores the ways we consume – and are consumed by – the internet.

An array of paint-covered pouts are set against a fleshy backdrop as brushes adorn them in black and red details. Beavers’ distinctive style pulls from the infinite scroll of social media, with subjects frequently inspired by memes, selfies and makeup tutorials.

Each edition is individually hand-finished with precise oil stick details, reminiscent of the heavy impasto that distinguishes Beaver’s original paintings.

“Something pretty mundane from our online lives can also be serious art.”
