Gina Beavers
1974–

Gina Beavers (born 1974) is an American artist based in the New York area. She first gained attention in the early 2010s for thickly painted, relief-like acrylic images of food, cosmetics techniques and bodybuilders appropriated from Instagram snapshots and selfies found using hashtags such as #foodporn, #sixpack and #makeuptutorial. Her later work has continued to recombine these recurrent subjects, as well as explore memes, irreverent conflations of genres or art history and kitsch, identity, fandom and celebrity-worship. In 2019, New York Times critic Martha Schwendener described her paintings as "canny statements on contemporary bodies, beauty and culture … [that] tackle the weirdness of immaterial images floating through the ether, building them up into something monumental, rather than dismissing them."

Beavers has exhibited at institutions including MoMA PS1, the Frans Hals Museum (Netherlands), Nassau County Museum of Art and KMAC Contemporary Art Museum. Her work belongs to the public collections of the Whitney Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, among others. She lives and works in Orange, New Jersey.
