Hyperrealistic painting by Stefania Fersini ( Pulp No. 7 )
About the Item
Through human-scale reproduction of fashion magazine pages, the artist draws attention to the disturbing representation of women promoted by the mass media. The slow and meditative execution process inherent in the very technique of these works is opposed to the neurotic and bulimic visual consumption of an ephemeral beauty, which-deprived of all individuality and complexity, and reduced to a mere template for commercial content-quickly creases.
The choice to represent torn and creased pages is the symbolic medium through which the
artist's critique of the rapid obsolescence of images.
His hyperrealistic technique reproduces with maniacal precision the same folds and shadows of the crumpled page, details that transfigure the bodies and faces portrayed. In this operation the models, already transfigurations of an aesthetic ideal, are further transformed, becoming copies of copies, appearances of appearances.
The reflections and luster of the paper, which emphasize the patina effect with particular realism, highlight the issue of surface both in the material sense and in the metaphorical meaning of appearance, the dominant value of our time. These are not mere visual devices or virtuosities, but symbols of reflection itself, highlighting the artist's consideration of the nature of seeing and being seen, of the intersections between reality and representation.

Peter Buchman "No Portrait, No Landscape", Voice-Over Paintings Series, 2018
By Peter Buchman
Located in New York, NY
Contemporary New York artist Peter Buchman's "No Portrait, No Landscape" white painting is made of laser cut plexiglass, acrylic medium and enamel on wood. It's a part of his Voice over Series, one that poetically mocks knowledge and itself in an endless bantering list style. To explain that Buchman’s word paintings are ‘A Figure Of Speech’ is underestimating the level of soulfulness at which these works reside. They are markings directly from the artist’s hand yet are indications of many people before him. These are words from familiar phrases, music albums, his funny brand of irony and the human form itself. Signed and dated en verso. This will ship directly from the one of the artist's studios.
American artist Peter Buchman has BFA in Illustration from The Rhode Island School of Design and did a Sculpture Residency at The School of Visual Arts in New York. Peter's artwork has been exhibited throughout the US since 1981 including the Parrish Art Museum (Southampton, NY), Cooperstown Museum (NY), Delaware Museum of Art, Kidder Smith Gallery (MA) and Vered Gallery (East Hampton, NY). His work is included in the portfolios of collectors including Beth Rudin DeWoody, Nicole Miller, David Yurman and Howard Schultz...
