About The Artwork
I made 17 paintings and drawings featuring alternative pinup models on reclaimed floorboards and textured paper. For this project I searched photo shoots on suicidegirls.com for poses resembling figures in Italian Renaissance art. In short, from sensual edgy nude photos I created a series of renaissance-esque angelic portraits. Multiple contrasting elements throughout fashion a sense of rebellion/defiance. For example, the models themselves, tattooed, pierced, and sexy are painted as an artist might have depicted saintly biblical figures. Also the recycled materials add to the juxtaposed nature of the paintings. Beautiful portraits of young women with gold leaf halos on old recycled beat up and scratched floorboards peppered with nails, staples and glue. Alternative angelic loveliness on scrap.

United States
Gregory Forber is a Colorado artist and graphic designer working primarily as an oil painter. He graduated from Colorado State University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a second major in German. Studying art abroad in Europe, notably in Italy and Germany, strongly influenced the early trajectory of his work. His figurative style can be traced to European symbolists and often features biblical, mythological, and historical themes found in Italian renaissance art. More recent non objective work explores improvisation, color, composition, movement, and mixed materials, namely metal leaf. He recently completed an artist residency at Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence and is building a body of figurative and abstract art in Denver.
