Elisheva Biernoff\u2019s paintings of photographs involve close looking and slow painting: lingering over pictures of strangers and paying attention to the overlooked and undervalued. The paintings are simulated artifacts, remade to scale as truly as possible. To create this work, the artist finds photographs of domestic scenes and anonymous people who wouldn’t necessarily be the subject of paintings. By painting the photographs, Biernoff brings the latent emotional content to the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n
