Lisa Yuskavage, "Blonde Brunette and Redhead", 1995 1:12 scale piece
from Art Collection No. 2 for the Kaleidoscope House by Bozart.
".....colors on our world.
Lisa Yuskavages world is one of beauty that has lost proportions, that is spilling out of the body. Its a world with wishes of freedom and slavery. Its a world of restraint and exhibitionism. Of course, this is only a part of our world, a small part, but a beautiful one, and when so well crafted, it sweeps you away into it.
Lisa Yuskavages work is about desire: a disturbing melange of portraits of babylike women residing in a world of lush, saturated colors that bely a dark psychological space just this side of the fetishistic. On lurid grounds of greens, pinks, purples, and aquas her figures often emerge apparitionally-flesh, clothing, and hair delineated through shadows and light in a disconcerting blurring of boundaries. With striking intensity, these childlike women both attract and repel with their frank and seductive psychosexual power. (Faye Hirsch)

an amazing link to her astonishingly pretty nudes--I LOVE Lisa Yuskavage's P.O.V.--so interesting.
She must be painting in something like egg tempra--i swear her technique is bodacious--soft evocation of deep emo like Vermeer or the Cocteau Twins.
