Eye catching faux baroque art. Hilarious meets art history and technical prowess.

Flora Yukhnovich at the Hirshorn Collection in DC.

From the description:

b. Norwich, England, 1990

Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Hickeys Too (2022)

Oil on linen

Flora Yukhnovich's monumental paintings combine subjeots, themes, and palettes drawn from earlier artistic movements with the dynamic brushwork of postwar American painting.

In Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Hickeys Too, she puts elements of the eighteenth-century Rococo style, characterized by pastel colors and sensual femininity, into conversation with Abstract Expressionism, associated with the swaggering, hypermasculine stance of painters such as Jackson Pollook. The resulting composition hovers between figuration and abstraction, as Yukhnovich's broad, swirling brushwork makes the female nudes all but melt into the surrounding landscape. This fluid, all-over quality, in which landscape and figures slip in and out of focus—also seen in Lee Krasner's Siren, to the right-thwarts conventional objectification of form in favor of a more sensual or even empathetic engagement.

omg kara I love seeing all of ur art thoughts!!! May I ask who your fave artists are?? hope you’re having a lovely night 💕

aaaa hi skye!!!!

ur so sweet and yes ofc you can but i feel like my thoughts are a bit… idk i feel it’s an odd selection

first of all, and also maybe obviously, my baby, vincent van gogh which i feel like is just… i mean of course he’s my favourite but like… that man, right, like he drives me insane. like this is maybe fairly self-explanatory, everyone loves van gogh

then, and this is also fairly obvious, or to me at least, i am a HUGE michelangelo girly, likeeee the way he views the body is just soooo. it’s exquisite actually and i’m studying his poetry at uni next term which i’m SO excited about!!!! get ready for me to be SO annoying about him

i also had this one artist in my brain for so long and i couldn’t remember her name but it came to me yesterday!! it’s flora yukhnovich and i just love how like dynamic her work is, like nods to classics w this fun kinda twist

umm who else… another more modern artist, aida tomescu, i love her so much, there’s just Something about her pieces, also when i was doing my art a level i looked into her a lot bc i was thinking about process art and that sort of thing which was all really interesting to me

also i think i mentioned this another time but jenny holzer i LOVE, and dante gabriel rossetti (absolute icon like imagine loving dante so much, you change ur name to match his i love him), i also really like modigliani, him and those long necked women lmao, oh and OFC caravaggio i LOVE him (if u couldn’t tell i’m a Major renaissance girly)

anyway these are all just off the top of my head and there are many many more but i’m gonna shut up now lol tysm for asking, hope you’re having a lovely night too <33
