NICOLE HASSLER
LIPSTICKS
10 November — 16 December, 2024
PS projectspace is excited to announce the exhibition of Nicole Hassler – Lipsticks.
Nicole Hassler is a visual artist, part of the minimal conceptual movement, influenced by Color Remarks (L. Wittgenstein, philosopher) and by Beginning Again (Marcia Hafif, artist). Although painting is her primary medium, her body of work also includes photography, video and 3D works. Nicole Hassler is interested in artifice, in the world of illusion.
She creates works that question the unstable boundaries between what is considered art and what is not. Her works bear witness to the history and discourse of contemporary art, neo-feminism, consumerism and industry. By appropriating the colors that we put on the skin, Hassler claims the right to consumption. She sets the trend codes of cosmetic fashion whose evocative titles of her paintings reveal the identity. They relate to the Industry of Beauty, the image of Woman and the globalized fashion of Luxury. They produce surprisingly autonomous paintings and invent a kind of Classicism derived from ephemeral codes.
