New York-based artist Sara Cwynar’s works respond to the flow of images in our image saturated society.
Spanning collage and installation, Cwynar creates and photographs intricate tableauxs in which magazine, advertising, and other found imagery are compiled together with images drawn from art historical sources.
Through the use of familiar icons and logos, and the power of a returning gaze, this work presents a critique of consumption and our cultural insistence on connecting beauty with truth.
