Elizabeth WinnelBANANARAMA - Pop art Painting with Pink Lips and Banana, Blue, Yellow2021
2021
About the Item
BANANARAMA by Elizabeth Winnel is compositionally similar to work she has created in the past- a set of lips at the center of the painting, mouth open. This time, however, she has put a pop art spin on her usual photorealistic style. A light blue background is speckled with bright red sprinkles. Light pink lips open for a peeled banana.
"I often make tightly rendered, photorealistic lip and mouth paintings. I carefully plan them, source the resources required to set up my reference, and shoot the reference photographs, which I then edit in photoshop and then use that imagery as a basis for my painting. A few years ago, though, I was asked to do an illustration of a pop icon for a campaign, and at that time, I paired down what I normally might paint for the sake of clear, concise communication. I enjoyed playing with the flat paint, and found it pleasurable to draw from my mind rather than relying heavily on reference materials. I sometimes revisit that method to create paintings. I enjoy flat, intuitive painting a lot lately and feel that it has a lot of potential for continued material play. "
Elizabeth Winnel moved from Canada to Savannah, Georgia in 2006. She graduated from The Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in illustration. In 2008, Winnel moved to Brooklyn, NY and worked as a painter. She returned to Savannah in 2010 to pursue an MFA in painting, which she completed in 2013.
She is interested in the portrayal of the body as it pertains to body language and culture. Whether it is through color palettes, gestures, or symbols such as body hair or makeup, she questions where our biases in representational images lie and hopes to prompt the viewer to reconsider their relationship with a gendered lexicon of cultural motifs.
Winnel has exhibited work nationally and internationally including in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, Nashville, London, Berlin, and Toronto. She currently lives and works in Savannah, Georgia and Brooklyn, New York.
