Avery Singer: Unity Bachelor

A new narrative series of digital paintings set against the backdrop of New York City in 2001

Reflecting the innovative tools employed in their production, the iconic paintings of New York-based Avery Singer (born 1987) are complex interpretations of contemporary social realities and technologies. The large-scale paintings portray worlds that emerge from digital renderings and take shape through manual and digital airbrush techniques, liquid and solid masking, and complex layering processes.
Unity Bachelor presents a striking series of narrative paintings featuring a trio of digital characters. Singer sets the story of the main characters Unity Bachelor and Priya Prasad in New York in 2001, a coming-of-age period and place for the artist. Their fictionalized love story is marked by the collective trauma of September 11, 2001, when Priya goes missing, while a third figure, an inebriated art student, who has doubled as a self-portrait of sorts throughout Singer's career, roams Lower Manhattan.
