Inkjet print and streaks of Flashe vinyl paint (manually by the artist) on Gampi paper. Size: 49.5 × 41.6 cm Numbered and signed by the artist on the front. // This compelling work by Laura Owens exemplifies her signature approach of blending mechanical reproduction with painterly intervention. An inkjet-printed ground on delicate Gampi paper serves as the canvas for sweeping, hand-applied streaks of Flashe vinyl paint, each mark asserting the artist’s physical presence against the precision of digital output. The tension between the printed layer and the gestural overpainting speaks to Owens’s sustained investigation of what constitutes a painting in the contemporary era. Numbered and signed, this hybrid print-painting from a leading figure in American contemporary art offers a luminous, tactile encounter with the boundaries of medium and process.

What is Kitsch?
Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
