Working with airbrush as well as sand and other textured mediums, Blair layers abstractions and rearranges material almost like a sculptor preparing work for 3D, with elements bending and blending onto the canvas as if coming to life. A signature to her work, long-winded, seemingly stream-of-consciousness titles accompany each of Blair’s paintings. Establishing an honest and playful connection to the artist’s character, the titles not only incorporate Blair’s sense of humor into the works, but they also allude to the absurdity of current events, politics, pop culture, and a media landscape that saturates our daily lives. As with much of Blair’s work, the edition explores the balance of control and freedom in her process, manifested in a mashing up of neon tones with low contrast color schemes; hard, taped-off edges with fuzzed out airbrush gradients; smooth, flat shapes with mottled patterns and rough, sandy textures; and wonky, irregular shapes mixed with more regular and recognizable forms. The resulting optical abstractions play on reality like a Magic Eye - absurdity is extruded from all corners of youtube; social media; advertising; consumer and celebrity culture; and found materials as well as lived experiences, and what you see depends on how you let the scene morph and distort before you.
