In this new limited edition print by LA-based painter Sayre Gomez, glow-in-the-dark details enhance the artist's signature hyperrealism.

Sayre draws inspiration from the Los Angeles landscape, often depicting deserted strip malls and the bright glow of commercial signage in his photorealistic paintings. In this piece, that glow is intensified with phosphorescent ink, applied by the printers at Make-Ready – marking the artist’s first time working with the medium.

"I love the novelty that the phosphorescent adds," he says. "I always think that making an edition should have an additive quality. In this case, we were able to truly transform the original (America's Tire, 2022)."

Sayre Gomez makes paintings and sculptures that present a complicated relationship with the United States. His hyper-realistic paintings of decaying urban architecture are rooted in his life experiences and observations of society. Gomez grew up in Chicago, and went on to study at the prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he supported himself by painting advertising billboards and designing T-shirts for brands like Stussy and X-Large. This crossover of art and consumerism had a huge impact on his practice and helped develop concepts that continue to shape his work.

Faded billboards, deserted strip malls and the ubiquitous bright lights of commercial signage are some of the protagonists in Gomez’s paintings, exposing the cracks and inequalities that can be seen in the American landscape. Sayre admits that there is something productive that happens while investigating these problematic images. “I definitely look at California or LA through a certain lens of exoticism. It’s such a weird and interesting place because it’s never easy to decipher. It’s fake and real at the same time.”

Review of Actual Size
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.
