At Quint Gallery, Encinitas artist Jean Lowe examines do-gooder consumerism via a giant Hummer sculpture
Entering Jean Lowe’s Encinitas studio isn’t exactly like stepping into a dreamworld, but it’s pretty damn close. It’s filled with spectacular mise-en-scène-style painted artworks and papier-mâché pieces. Look up, and one might spot ornamental vases rendered with the Coors logo. A close examination of books on a shelf actually reveals them to be painted renderings with tongue-in-cheek titles.
On Saturday and Oct. 9, during the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, the Quint staff will also serve as representatives or, rather, car salespeople, greeting patrons as potential customers, which adds something of a performative aspect to the show. There will also be an additional actress on the street to, as Lowe puts it, “lure” festival-goers into the gallery/dealership.
“It’s been challenging to make something that was both sturdy, but could also come apart,” says Lowe. “But it’s really just a shell, there’s really not much going on inside. There’s some drywall screws that just make it snap together.” This dutiful examination of issues of consumerism is something of a style that Lowe has perfected throughout her multi-decade career.
