Artists Statement

The irrepressible Diana Vanstone, ever the provocateur, has done it again. Her latest masterpiece, “Selfie,” is a deliciously subversive commentary on our collective obsession with self-portraiture. And what better way to skewer this phenomenon than by giving it to a gaggle of lovable farmyard fowl?

The five chickens that populate Vanstone’s canvas are not just any avians; they’re poseurs, each one capturing their own unique selfie moment with all the flair and artifice of a Kardashian. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, the colors vibrant and alive. It’s a painting that practically crackles with energy.

But what really sets “Selfie” apart is its sly wit. Vanstone is not just mocking our modern fixation on capturing every fleeting moment; she’s also holding up a mirror to our own vanity, our own compulsion to present ourselves in the most flattering light possible. It’s a clever piece that will have you chuckling and nodding your head in recognition.

And then there’s the sheer audacity of it all. I mean, who else but Vanstone would think to give selfies to chickens? Only someone with her keen eye for the absurdities of our times, her willingness to push boundaries and challenge assumptions. It’s a painting that will leave you smiling, shaking your head in wonder, and maybe even wondering what other cleverness she has up her sleeve.
