Molly Gruninger's work elicits one of contemporary art’s most chronic questions—is it AI? Psychedelic overtones, elongated forms, and an ultrasmooth synthetic glow tell us that, in Gruninger’s work, that question is kind of the point.

Working in oil on canvas, Molly paints from photographs of life-size models she’s sculpted by hand. For RE-CREATION, Molly worked with modeling clay on mannequins to form abstract shapes like the over-edited hallucinations of text-to-image AI renderings. She painted her sculptures, adding metallics to produce accurate sources of light, shadow, and color. Then, she photographed them and sketched from the photographs, further manipulating her drawings to create distinguished details, forms, and facial features—all before even touching paint to canvas.

“It’s about the unreality of the moment. I wanted to dive into the overwhelming influence felt by the onslaught of misinformation and how it’s shaping our inability to trust what we see and hear. I was inspired by the explosion of AI, the disconnect between what’s real and imagined, and the distorted transformation of ideas. RE-CREATION is about taking back those ideas through actual human creation.” - Molly Gruninger
