- How does an artist advance a medium that’s been around for millenia?
In her Mott Haven studio in the Bronx, artist Avery Singer perfects a personally developed technique that mixes traditional methods with digital processes and pushes her paintings into new terrain.
“You can take traditional tools and employ them in the way that they’ve been intended to be employed for five-hundred years, and then in the next hour incorporate some kind of new technology,” says the artist. ”The juxtaposition of all these things produces meaning.”
On top of conventional gesso-primed canvases, Singer uses masking tape and an airbrush to realize designs she’s intricately constructed using the 3D modeling program SketchUp. The resulting black and white paintings feature androgynous robot-like figures caught up in opaque narratives inspired by art world tropes: a studio visit, a projectionist’s booth, a slide lecture. Her bravura mixture of styles and techniques seem to reference painting’s entire modern history, from surrealism to Cubism to Russian constructivists like Naum Gobo. Singer hopes the works point to painting’s still unexplored potential by looking both back to the past and forward, to the multiple possibilities of the future.

WOW!!! I love her work, and I really enjoyed this episode. =)
I love the process you use of making 3d elements in the computer to come up with a composition and then painting it in the real world. I also can't tell you how much I wish I could just paint all day and see what I could come up with, given time to focus on my own work. You are gifted and blessed.
Fabulous. Go Avery Go!
great work she does!
You make awesome art awesome episode. To Avery
She is one of my Idol.
This is well made, beautiful
this is fantastic, big ups from sacramento
Hands born to make fine art.
these are amazing
I love solitude too, good message
Wow this was so inspiring 😍😍😍
Oh my god I really like her!
Great work of art originality nyc talent keep making art💜🎨👏🏻
Can you show us more of her work and process? Very unique work.
Wow somebody is actually doing something original ,love the form and solidity ,the colour and space need to be upped ,fantastic paintings .
Lost in her work, awesome - skies the limit
How did she get into Hauser and Wirth at what 30 years of age???? Someone owed someone favors or were buddy buddy.
So many great artists a lot older, don't even get their work looked at by this gallery.
love
Love her concept. I want to know how young artists afford such spacious work studios, huge canvases and volumous supplies of paint and medium. Are their works selling so well? Are there grants out there to just keep and artist in supplies?
Judi Lynn she is in museums. She gets Grant's as well
There are grants for young artists, and grants in general for artists. (ask around at art acadamies to find out about grants in your country) They are sometimes hard to obtain tho. There are also galleries that focus on new artists and younger ones. Thats usually one stream of revenue. Other YA also have multiple side hussles or jobs to afford bigger studios
mom and dad
Avery sells for hundreds of thousands and is collected by museums lol, she’s not your average struggling artist
she’s selling millions every year. her record was $4 million for a single painting, she’s not really a struggling artist.
what kind of jacket is she wearing? its awesome
carhartt duck detroit jacket or carhartt chapman jacket
genius
PLEASE ! someone knows the airbrush she's using ? Iwata ?
Iwatas for sure.
Avery Day^^
But what does it mean?
All you critics out there, she's young - she'll find her way. Were you born with the ability to walk, talk, feed, clothe, educate and house yourself? Process. She's doing it. Oh, and EVERYTHING is derivative today. EVERYTHING. So focus your little green eyes on yourselves before you go throwing stones at others. I think she's really interesting and she's putting herself out there. She'll be just fine, methinks.
Molly being young doesn't prevent her from being compared to her peers young and older ones and being criticized. this is not how life works I am afraid. Her process is interesting and alluring to me but the end result is mediocre because she does not "own" the work she puts out there , she recycles stuff without having a clear and precise identity you can call hers. A young artists with millions of fresh dreams in their heads should be eloquent. she is very cute, this will crack a few doors open.

I was really excited about her work when I saw some pics online. What was actually intimidating was her mastery of 3-D space, modeling, lighting and shading. Then, watching the video, I discovered in the first minute that the computer is responsible for this, and that she essentially copies it large scale. Note: I'm a digital artist, so not against using the computer.
When she says that she get's basic line and detail work from the computer, she leaves out the incredible and most difficult part, which is the perspective and shading. Consider the immense sophistication of the projected shadows she uses, all of which are performed by the AI. She'd have to be a mathematical genius (as was Escher) do compute the necessary calculations in her own head.
The issue here is that what impressed me was actually the calculations executed by the computer. To give an analogy, it's like someone sharing a piano sonata, and what really impresses us is the speed and dexterity of the playing. However, it turns out, that was all done by the computer. So, there is a question of what the computer is doing and what the artists is doing, and which part is the more impressive. With the piano sonata, if the composition, harmonies, and so on are what impresses, the computer can be irrelevant.
That said, her commitment to reproducing these computer-made images is itself impressive, and the results are fantastic. She is also responsible for the compositions, which are excellent. In this case I credit her with manipulation of the program, and execution of the physical painting. But, Escher did it without the computer. I wonder if she could make similar images without relying on a 3D program to do all the difficult math.
A difference here is when I first saw them I was shocked, even intimidated by her visual intelligence. But now that I know she used Sketchup, well, with a little practice, I could do something similar. It wouldn't be easy, because she has a very fine aesthetic, but it's gone from beyond my capacity to, "Oh, well, she does that very well, but now I can see how it's manageable", and to be clear, this is only important because it was initially the beyond-my-ability element of it that so impressed me. THAT part was generated by the computer. Nevertheless, I really love the painting of the two figures at a table. It's a really fine achievement. I'll withhold judgement, and wait to see how she develops. But I am no longer blown away.
Well, on second thought, her manipulation of the program(s) in question seems very impressive and individual, and the execution and scale are also very sophisticated. So, might still be blown away, but not completely. Again, I wonder what would happen if she didn't use the program. Might be worth doing some experiments.

if you think "good art = made for impress" - you got it all wrong and maybe you should choose an other profession :)
Did anyone ask you for this opinionated website plug? Dont think so... if you are let down by the technique I'm not sure if you understand art. Try looking beyond the technique and understand what the paintings are actually saying.
Everyone uses golden for non oil paint
Very edgy art..her work speaks to me...odd she only uses golden paint..
Margo Rowe Golden is an awesome line. Like her it's my first choice since college.
ill marry you. "soon to be" millionaire
I'm a better artist than Avery Singer is
Lol yea sure
"because i dont want to reproduce other peoples paintings, i want to make my own", interesting selection of words for someone who has completely ripped her aesthetic from naum gabos figurative sculptures, and dropped into a surrealistic/cubist like 'dhali-esque' scape. Not such originality here.
what do you expect from someone with her age to say?
technically she still makes her own work but i have very little respect for projection painter.
also if she truly embraces solitude like she said she wouldn't even want to be interviewed like this.
Bullshit. These are about as close to Naum Gobos's work as they are to Picassos cubist shit. You people seem to come to the comment board with no knowledge of contemporary art and expect to sound valid? Get a life.
Oh but you will droll over Dutchmen who use camera obscura's?? Im laughing out loud so hard it would be inaccurate to write LOL.
And age has nothing to do with it. You probably droll over other artists in their 20's but cant handle a woman doing it? Her paintings are totally original, amazingly crafted and as original as anything else. For people who need to stick a flag in something to claim there stake of originality I would suggest taking your interest away from art and go into something else. There is a lot to digest in contemporary art so maybe stock to an era where they where using a non-electric projector.
I think she is great compared to the rubbish like the turner prize ,no comparison .
@@hippywolf you read my comment alright? i said i have very little respect for those so called painters who use projection. i prefer painters who paint from imagination and/or observation. since you are so good at assuming what i prefer and like, let me do you right as well. you are probably in your mid 20, a so-called feminist who reads huff post all day barking like a crazy dog over louie ck scandal that has nothing to do with your personal life- a typical dimwit who assumes that every comment against a female has to do with sexism. and thank you for proving my point that age has everything to do with one's action/idea/behavior- just look at your stupid comment from a year ago, i am sure you are already feeling sorry for yourself. i would suggest you to stop pretending like you actually know a lot about art and stop defending vapid hype such as this. but no one is stopping you from licking her clit in her instagram, please keep it there though, cheers.
p.s. you meant drool right? dude, learn to spell.
