① Artwork:
At Camp 1 & 2 (Diptych– 2 Pieces)
Simultaneously lewd and sweet, this cheeky diptych painting compiles and transforms found images of nudists and exhibitionists through line and subtle color washes. Gluibizzi thought about his camp counselors a lot as a young teen. As the artist collected images to mix and match in his compositions, he created figures that stood in for the figures in his early daydreams.
In this composition, Gluibizzi explores our image-saturated digital world—archiving, ordering and puzzling collected figures into open narratives. The figures in the painting are emblematic of the uncertainty that prevades our digitally mediated past, present and future. At the same time, this painting celebrates the beautifully complex search for connections humans undergo as they face the world.
