Lawrence Gipe
American painter, independent curator and educator based in Los Angeles.
Lawrence Gipe (born in Baltimore, Maryland), is an American painter, independent curator, and Associate Professor of 2D studies at The University of Arizona, Tucson.
He received a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University () and an MFA from the Otis/Parsons Institute of Art and Design, Los Angeles (). He maintains a studio practice in Los Angeles, splitting his time between California and Arizona.[1]
Gipe's work utilizes “irredeemable” imagery sourced from an archive of business magazines (specifically, Fortune), propaganda tracts, social realism photography and other officially "sanctioned" artworks approved by politically-orientated bodies (such as the former Soviet Union, countries in the former Eastern Bloc, and China).
His paintings translate small black and white images into large-scale works, saturated with color, in an ongoing series called The Century of Progress Museu
