Art and Artists I Love: Dmitry Shorin



This bicycle seat painting is titled "3D" and is like a magnet, I am stuck on it.

Dmitry Shorin's paintings are immediately recognizable – influenced by photography and referencing mass media images, he paints beautiful young girls almost exclusively. Frequently placing his fragile and ephemeral heroines in the heavens paired with airplanes, his paintings are uncanny. Matte and somewhat drained of colour, Shorin's images are rife with unease created by a repressed yet ever present psychological eroticism. The girls he paints are constantly observed, their images created for and consumed by consumer society, but Shorin's presentation of them is them is that of the voyeur, the unseen observer.
