GENERATOR #5: Georgia Gardner Gray

Georgia Gardner Gray (1988, New York, NY, US) is one of the most exciting young painters of our time. She transforms our everyday into keenly observed and surprisingly disconcerting compositions using cultural symbols ranging from the prehistoric to the digital realm.  

Taking cues from pop culture and art history, Gray exposes the contradictions of the contemporary world through the absurdist staging of her pictures. With subtle wit and accurate detail, she highlights how our perceptions of history, art and authenticity can differ so widely. In her solo exhibition at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, she presents a series of new works set in prehistoric stone circles, exploring the concept of human and artistic heritage on a grand scale.

We would like to thank all private patrons who have supported this exhibition, and Croy Nielsen, Vienna.
