Gina Beavers (born 1974) is an American artist based in the New York area.[1] She first gained attention in the early 2010s for thickly painted, relief-like acrylic images of food, cosmetics techniques and bodybuilders appropriated from Instagram snapshots and selfies found using hashtags such as #foodporn, #sixpack and #makeuptutorial.[2][3] Her later work has continued to recombine these recurrent subjects, as well as explore memes, irreverent conflations of genres or art history and kitsch, identity, fandom and celebrity-worship.[4][5][6][7] In 2019, New York Times critic Martha Schwendener described her paintings as "canny statements on contemporary bodies, beauty and culture … [that] tackle the weirdness of immaterial images floating through the ether, building them up into something monumental, rather than dismissing them."[8]
Beavers has exhibited at institutions including MoMA PS1,[9][8] the Frans Hals Museum (Netherlands),[10] Nassau County Museum of Art and KMAC Contemporary Art Museum.[11] Her work belongs to the public collections of the Whitney Museum,[12] Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles,[13] and Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami,[14] among others. She lives and works in Orange, New Jersey.[15]
