Kirsten Deirup (b. 1980) Grin, 2021 Oil on linen 26 x 22 inches (66.0 x 55.9 cm) Signed, dated, and titled on the reverse: "Grin" Kristen Deirup 21 PROVENANCE: The artist; Private collection, New York. Inspired by Renaissance painting and the Hudson River School, Kirsten Deirup seamlessly blends pop culture symbolism with reflections on the socio-economic presence of humans and objects in the natural world. Her work is less about humanity's direct impact on the environment, and more about how objects—often manmade—have been absorbed into nature, coexisting within it. Deirup constructs vivid surreal-scapes that feel alive; while her backgrounds remain largely static, she introduces objects that seemingly don't belong, yet are accepted by the landscape as nature adapts around them.
