Stock People
Stock photography attempts to create a library of generic human states and actions that people can stitch together to depict any number of example situations. While the examples are visually replete with humans, their glossy, anonymous nature renders the subjects soulless and lacking sincerity. Their cold, distant quality makes the situations seem absurd; at once hilarious and also horrifying. These paintings seek to repurpose that absurdity to accentuate their individual humanity rather than their blanket human anonymity. Gestural mark-making and bold color are used to shape the personality being breathed into the generic figures selected from internet searches. Careful brushwork and color play against flat objects and spaces to imbue the once soulless stock photography with sincerity and individuality.
