In
It Rocks Us… Skreber sells revulsion on the merits of sex
appeal. Painted with the soft focus of advertising, his car
crash doesn't glorify death but renders it more intimate through
the astringent gloss of pop. Skreber's mesmerising painting
broaches the unthinkable. Alluring in its sterile beauty,
the surface promises nothing beyond our commodified conception
of the infinite: a terrible fascination glimmering with airbrushed
newness. |
