NEW YORK, NY — The Con Artist Gallery is pleased to present BARE a series of new work by local artist Ginger Del Rey in what will be her debut solo exhibition at the gallery.

Del Rey takes inspiration from her friends and lovers, recreating photographs she’s taken in impromptu, late-night photoshoots in saturated paintings using oils and gold leaf. Known for her revealing portraits, her new series is aptly titled BARE as it aims to strip away the millennial artifice, self-aggrandizing, selfie-posing, and other Kardashian-inspired atrocities.  

BARE is about showing a woman as she is, with nothing to hide and nothing to pretend; with all of her insecurities and strengths presented equally. Del Rey invites you to study your reaction to beauty that doesn’t care what you think.

The artist describes her process, "I see beauty in every woman. I'm forever drawn to them, even strangers on the subway. I feel compelled to capture their radiance and reveal it to the world.  To lay her BARE for all to see, to appreciate, to worship, to envy... to recognize and pay tribute to the power of beauty.

I think painting a woman might be the best way to truly understand her.  Spending hours studying every surface, every shade, the way her mouth curves just so or the slight expansion of her retina as her eyes adjust to the flash - she reveals herself.  She may not intend to, but she always does.  I feel especially close to the woman I've painted.  They've fed my passion and my artwork and for that I thank them for all that they are."
