An erotic dream-scape that is artificial and fantastical in its compositional organization. I was interested in blending a realistic rendering of figures that felt respectful to the human form but also arranged in a way that is flat and collage-y, in order to imply the placeholder nature of all the forms. They are overtly feminine in this arrangement, but such an escapist dreamscape could be made satisfying with any mixture of homogenous things. The repetition of attractive forms, like a wallpaper, can be an exciting visual moment to venture into, despite its inherent critical emptiness.

www.gabrielzeaart.com Born in Singapore, and raised in Houston, TX, I’m a Colombian-American creating oil paintings preoccupied with the aesthetics of conventional expressions of gender, and how these conventions are both limiting and freeing all at once. Growing up middle-class in Texas, the specter of being judged as not masculine, or coming across as not in total command of one’s own emotions, was constant. The concept of ‘ideal masculinity’ vs. ‘ideal femininity’ was an ever-present, ever-shifting topic in my mind, as it seemed to endlessly influence the behavior of myself and others. The contradictory and impossible nature of these ideal concepts of gender don’t seem to affect our devotion to them, and my paintings similarly represent a devotion to and suspicion of the very gendered forms of expression that surrounded me as I grew. My goal is to envision a seductive world where these corrupted idealizations of gendered behavior can be observed and an association with violence or self-destruction is either explicit or never too far away.
