Are you a
Gossip Girl fan? I am! I'm in love with the story line, the fashion, the....everything! One of my favorite things is the showcase of photography and paintings at the Van Der Woodsen abode. I can't remember if it was season 1 or 2 or both, but I became obsessed with a painting in
Serena's bedroom of a super
glittery human eye. Through my research I found that an artist by the name of
Marilyn Minter created the master piece I was in love with. At first I thought it was a photograph but read that they are actually paintings.
Minter creates her photorealistic paintings by staging photo shoots of models wearing caked-on make up or what Minter calls "war paint." She uses an actual darkroom to develop the film and then combines various negatives in Photoshop to make a new image that she paints onto aluminum. The brilliant color and glossy sheen of the surface keeps me staring at her paintings with fascination.
I am on the hunt for an amazing
Marylin Minter print.
Enjoy.
