Infinite Anomaly is a series of oil and pigmented silicone paintings and works on paper. These works retain Jeffrey Gibson’s customary use of ”lush and visually intoxicating” environmental landscapes accumulated by brightly colored gestural paint-strokes, glossy transparent pours, and layers of pigmented silicone, while introducing (for the first time in Gibson’s work) human forms, seemly engrossed by their sensual surroundings. The series depicts an Arcadian and utopian ideal where nature exists, at least for a moment, free of human domination while allowing people to celebrate in sensuous and innocent abandon, a circumstance that can’t possibly sustain itself.
