Monica Kim Garza portrays audacious women, living life to the fullest. They lounge, eat, drink, smoke, sunbathe, have sex and play sports, enjoying mundane activities as they calmly and unabashedly gaze at us. Everyday moments, memories, and "vibes" as Kim Garza puts it, come together in joyful, Epicurean scenes, where the pressures of modern life seem to evaporate. Painted with fast-paced, gestural brushstrokes, the female figures and their surrounding environments blend together, heedless of antiquated compositional edicts. The women share distinct bodily and ethnical features because they all embody the protagonist; Monica Kim Garza. Comparisons to Paul Gauguin's Tahitian works as well as Frida Kahlo's lush self-examinations are frequent, and while the artist formally addresses legacies of Western oil painting, her carefree body-doubles seem cheekily ignorant of the heavy weight of such historically mediated visualities. The trajectory of escapism is, after all, freedom.
