American painter Lola Gil's work disturbs visual conventions of domesticity and consumption. Fantastic and uncanny, most of her paintings depict scenes in and around the home, with fragmented or warped images layered on the picture plane. Blown glass figurines feature prominently within Gil's canvases, sometimes obscuring the entirety of a figure or landscape. Thematically, her practice experiments with and develops the visual language of suburban nostalgia, interpersonal connection, and alienation that finds roots in vernacular American imagery like Norman Rockwell's illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
